"On the other hand, the mods can be a little nuts sometime."
Agreed. Sometimes some nasty freeper will accuse one of "stalking" or some such nonsense, in an effort to get one banned, and the admin mods jump down your throat before investigating and finding out that the complainer is a liar. They do apologize when they are wrong, though.
Yup. But nothing like publicly posting freepmails to dispell that notion in the future.
