Snowboarder, I see your intent. In this case, the execution didn’t quite pass muster. I see you’ve acknowledged that **tomndebb** judged things differently than your intent.

I don’t see the point in further discussion. You received a mod note, you explained your intent wasn’t to violate the rules. I hope we can all move on now.

> I agree, **John** , **tomndebb** did what he thought was right. I just wanted to explain my intent. I had to start this thread tho, because the last time I tried to respond to a Mod note in the thread where it was posted, I got an official warning for it.

Wise move.

Yes it was - you didn’t just comment on the actual content of his posts, but also on his state of mind in making them. That’s personal.
