As was pointed out above, you have to be kind-of self-righteous to plunge into a debate in the first place. But while you may at the moment have a mad on at her, **Twickster** is not an egregious example of either self-righteousness or prickitude. You may, as the rules indicate, Pit any or all board members, but you may not complain about moderator actions in the Pit. I realize that some folks are defending and not complaining, but I can’t permit one without the other in this context. Please take it to ATMB. No warnings issued. **Gfactor** Pit Moderator ---

Sorry **Oy** , I’m not sure how you get the ‘originally posted by’ part to appear. When I use the quote thingy it never gets included, I’m not quite sure why. Basically, I was accused of being a constant complainer about moderation, simply I because I was asking for clarification about a thread closure she’d made, politely and in the proper forum. When, in fact (supported by the search **Buckeye** did. Thanks **Buckeye**!), over ten years of posting I have very rarely had any problem with the moderation, and was actually supporting the moderation in the thread that spawned the discussion. To be accused of such an unfounded thing, by a mod was a pretty harsh thing for me. When she was called on it, she apologized for mentioning ‘my knickers’, nothing more. That’s more than lame, that’s prickish. As I said, up thread, I used to have nothing but respect for her. I can’t say the same is true now. (posted prior to Gfactor’s note!) ---
