Both of my posts moved here were 100% on topic.
CCR computer would provide evidence? On topic.
Surprised Coroner doesn't even look at CCR computer? On topic.

Looky... they're no longer here. The mods caught my oversight and moved them back while you were getting all angry about it. We're a team and work together as one. Now, your astute comments are back where they belong.

Again, this points out why it's important to not hijack threads. Sometimes the good gets moved with the bad.

Personally I don't see C Dub doing anything but just pointing out the facts and seem you mods saw it the same way.

Although it seems in some threads / forums (and am not specifically referring to this one), facts are not always appreciated it seems.

Also re 'hijacking threads', sometimes it is not the first posters intent, nor the one who replies to that first hijacking post that starts the ongoing hijacking, but that's what starts to happen and then the hijacking develops a life of its own. But your collective wisdom in moving those 'hijackings' (if they are not just simply dribble) to another thread which at least gives the hijacking 'point / reason' a life of its own should folks like to pursue it, is certainly appreciated (by me at least) to say the least, as opposed to simply throwing the hijack posts into 'the round file', i.e. the rubbish bin (where some certainly do belong).

Anyway, all due respect to the mods, I know you work tirelessly and for free to keep things on an even keel here, but I have noticed a few hot under the collar replies from both sides on this and other forums when people (on both sides of the aisle), sometimes correctly or incorrectly feel they are being (sometimes consistently) misunderstood / misinterpreted, or ................even worse, God forbid, attacked.

Why not hit the report button and ask that it be moved back privately rather than making it a public deal? That and by the time he had posted his complaint, they had found their way back to the original thread. Patience is a virtue few seem to have time for.

To reiterate: if you believe someone's post violates the ToS: report it. Don't publicly denounce the offence, but rather, let the mods do their job. In addition, if you feel that your post has inadvertently been included in a mass move: report it. We all make mistakes and would rather handle this privately than have them decried publicly. Finally, if you disagree with the moderation or have questions in a thread and feel the need to discuss it: take it to Site Support. It doesn't belong in the thread.
 
Rain pilot does not have the staff member badge, and I wasn't about to out him in public.

Thanks Frank, just for everyone's edification, the reason I don't have the badge is the same as @The Chairman

If you have the badge, users cannot put you on "ignore". Since I believe it is everyone's right (and often best strategy to follow) to ignore me, I give them the option.
 
I can't think of one person on this board that would put @RainPilot on ignore. That is a bs reason that I will simply ignore. hehe

I can't ignore a train wreck either.

Chemtrails....
 
Is this supposed to be a site support thread or pub?
Neither is moderated heavily, though the former has my constant attention.

Sorry, the mods tend to enjoy each other. It is our pay.
