some people seem too willing to instantaneously engage in insultslinging. it's not only always the same very small group of people who react on the slightest [perceived] provocation, those people are immediately around to happily take the bait + then cry for more mods as soon as another *bhoy* or [what's his name] registers to post something *offensive*. the pattern is very plain to discern. personally, i didn't feel annoyed by those 3 or 4 lame wind-up attempts but by the ensuing + ongoing off topic posting by people who should know better. if those concerned with the quality of the moderation spent their time debating proper thread topics, half of the issues they take issue with wouldn't even exist. funny, isn't it? anything to reinstate bmwtaylor, right? i wouldn't be surprised if david saw through your deliberate little tantrum right away.
i can't agree about only jasper doing his job, i replied to milaneso's misplaced post in this thread + within a very short time his post was removed or moved, evidently by another mod doing his/her job. imo a good mod acts in the background, but not without providing transparency of his/her actions by adding a comment whenever a post is moved/edited + thereby conceding people the right to *learn* + avoid mistakes/rule offenses in the future.
