I understand what you're saying Leon and the freedom that we have on this board is great, but some of these threads seem like they should just be handled between the parties involved and not be made into such a public display.

I agree it would be better to handle it privately. From personal experience on the board that is the usual best way to do it. However, when someone puts something out here, unless it's egregious or way against the rules, I think it should be let go. Many times these things have a way of taking care of themselves. Also, many times people get to know others by what they post. (see Luke's response above) So limiting that is an injustice on a few levels..again, all in my opinion. I could be wrong .

This sums it up perfectly. This thread says way more about the OP then it does his target.

Moonlight didn't give an opinion of a person, only of the thread itself. That doesn't merit a name. If it did I am sure Leon would have said something in his reply.

The OP was closer to breaking a rule than Moonlight. The only thing that saved him is that after the fact Leon gave approval.

He didn't get approval from me (or another moderator I am aware of) to start the thread with the PMs. That being said,. I try to take things mostly on a case by case basis. If I can let something go then I usually do. If there are personal things that shouldn't be there, imo, then they get asked to be removed one way or another. My MO as moderator has always been the same though, to try to let things go and not get in the way too much. I did put his full name out there per the rules though. And one other thing, Andy's comment on Moonlights full name being out there was correct and not against the rules as he hadn't given an opinion of a person or company. I feel most debates need full names too.....

For some reason whether right or wrong I always get a little smile when an OP complains about someone and slowly it begins to backfire.

Not sure why this is news or even if we need to beware.


I am adding preemptively that I am not attacking the OP just am not a fan of necessarily complaining. There may be some info I am not aware of just doesn't seem severe enough to put someone out like that.

Sorry about that.
