I do, as many members will tell you, except when said members insult me.

Examples? Or are you just elaborating on this one situation. Yes, I was brisk, but I found your post very offensive. First off all, you claim that I live in some fantasy land where I make up my own credentials and such. Yeah, that's real polite. Secondly, you also insinuate that as a moderator I act as more of a mafia figure

This time you are objecting, not to flames, bad language, personal attacks or name calling, but to my post suggesting that Chill back off. I did not attack you but I did call into question your attitude. This is appropriate. What in the world does 'engineer' have to do with the original topic? You seemingly desired to impress with vague credentials. In the real world this can and will get one in serious and/or embarassing situations.

And where is this so called warning to chill? It seems to me that throughout your post you were very sarcastic and beligereant. For your information, a web engineer is someone adept in the code side of web developing, and someone who has knowledge of systems, as apose to a site designer. I wasn't trying to impress you, I was trying to prove that I wasn't some kid sitting in his basement on an ego trip, as you seemed to insinuate in my original post.

This is a strong reflection on your character and Ambrosia (for having you as a moderator.)
Below is an excerpt from your e-mail to me (in which you lowered my 'karma'). I just wonder what is happening to your 'real' karma with your mean-spiritedness.

Yes, I admit that I was over aggressive, my only excuse is that I had a very bad day. I had split up with my girlfriend and I had a bad day at work. Although this shouldn't have affected my judgement, I'm only human and it did. I apologise for my insults, and if I could take them back, I would. However, I will defend myself against your attacks against my position as a moderator. I try my hardest to be helpful at all times, but like I said above, I'm only human, and I do slip up sometimes. Once again, I apologise for my attacks on yourself, but I do not take back what I said about your post.
If you would like to continue this discusion, then I would appreciate it if ou would either e-mail me at jack_8500@yahoo.com or contact me on AIM.
