OK, as a courtesy to JimRob, I'll offer an example for his consideration.
I figure he's entitled to judge for himself whether the moderators have occasionally stepped beyond the boundaries of his guidelines. (What the heck, they're only human.)
Anyway, here goes: Comment #25 Removed by Moderator
I have a copy of what this reply said,
but I see no reason to repost it.
Jim should already have the capability of reading the original.
My position is (obviously) that the Mod who deleted it was excessively quick on the trigger.
Depending upon how well you make your point, and depending on if you can convince Jim, me, the other moderators, and/or the world, maybe you can change things.
Well no offense intended, but Jim's the only one who matters.
And I have no interest in badgering him for some kind of explanation/justification for this deletion. Compared to all the flaming arrows sticking out of my thick hide, deletion of what I had posted seems puzzlingly hypersensitive.
Obligatory Cow Zot...
If, in the future, you think something was done that shouldn't have been, the best bet is to yourself hit abuse, and make your case in a polite way. We can (and do) reconsider things.
Thanks, LM
