You should do, I told you about it previously in a PM.

I think the anonymous nature of mods on this site is a good idea.

Some moderators are biased and will stick up for friends and go against posters they don't like instead of being unbiased.

I didn't think it was a good idea at first, because of the way things were years ago with Moderators who were bias and didn't treat everyone equally. This site has come a long way since those days, as far as the Moderators in my opinion.

I really don't recall the P.M. from you, although it would be impossible for me to remember every P.M. I get. 😉

That's not been my experience.

It once was that way goad, not so much anymore!!!

I think people are treated more equally now.

Or indeed what you had for breakfast.

Site admins might have decided that running off paying customers was bad business. Especially since other sites have a lot to offer.
Tactics trainers...videos...GM appearances.
Live feeds of tournaments etc etc.
This is my favourite site 😉

I have a healthy breakfast, but thank you kindly for your concern. 😉

(Within reason of course)

so an artist is appointed,
to draw the indelible line...
one side heaven, the other is hell,
vanilla folks win the lottery, licorice dudes pay a fine...

You are correct, and the flag up doesn't really tell where they are from. I think most of the exchanges are all in fun and no one really intends any malice towards anyone else.

Come ‘ere and have a hug you big ol’ softie... 😍

Some threads are directed to a specific person.

Does that make sense?

How are you?

Does that make sense?

The only one that comes to mind that had the potential for malice was 'Is sonhouse a liar.'
From my recollection he handled it well and all turned out ok.

Yes he did actually, he is one that stays pretty cool headed. That could have wen in an entirely different direction.

I've worked for years to achieve it!! I never refuse a hug though. 😉

You seem weary though about saying who you use to be! 😉

Possibly he is weary of being asked why he is wary.

I don't know, ask him. I can't seem to get any answers from him. 😉
