yes I also distrust naive and potentially deceitful posters until they prove themselves as do many on the thread. I have had to ban quite a few deceptive posters from the thread over time.
If I make mistakes I am happy to admit them, and often reverse them. At the end of the day I do not have to answer to you on how I moderate my thread, and one of the things that irritated me so much about you was how you continually seek to backseat drive on who and what I should be criticising and moderating.
Do you see other posters being so childish and petty? No. This is why the likes of you get banned and cfc1 does not.
You entirely miss the point that it is my thread, it is not "advfn's" thread. I have no responsibility to moderate in a way you deem to be fair, the only arbiter on my thread is me. Get over it and set up your own thread or post here if you dont like it, but thats the way this site works. I am not paid to be independent. I choose to moderate as I do to give myself a quiet life.
If you notice now on my thread, there is nothing to say, and nothing is being said. It is not being filled up with pointless wittering! (thank god!)
