Arryn: I agree that my brother was more rude than was called for and I apologize for not keeping him in line

However I wonder what you mean by saying that the mods and admins do nothing. Is it because you do not percieve any changes in mod activities? Discussions between mods and admin are evidently not official. Some matters take a bit of time and might not be resolved as quickly as you would prefer. I hope that you can trust us and believe that we are concerned about keeping the forum civil.
Regarding senior admins disallowing Moderators to moderate I am baffled. What do you mean? I'm not too happy about rumor mongering. If you mean Psitticine when you refer to the fairest mods I can only say that I miss him as well, both as beta tester, manual writer and as moderator, but admin policies has nothing to do with him disappearing.
Moderation should be something each and every one of us did, to ourselves and to our friends at these Boards. Instead of encouraging snide remarks we could tell our friends to refrain from them (Jesus has spoken
