I did not expect nor ask for this. I just expected if anyone was bothered to answer that they might be civil. You are now making stuff up to justify your rudeness.
Look.
You asked a question and then got bent out of shape when you got a jokey answer rather than the one you wanted to hear, just because someone has “Moderator” next to their name. What I’m trying to do is manage your expectations.
The Moderators are volunteers. We provide a service, for free, to the site and (I’d like to think) to its users as well. We are under absolutely no obligation to come running whenever someone snaps their fingers; or for that matter, at all. Our role as Moderators is to ensure that the forum rules are followed, nothing more. Drac and I comment on threads like this simply because we both, personally, have chosen to do so.
Drac and I (and the other moderators who have chosen not to put their necks on the block publicly) are users of the forum just like you and have the same right to reply that all users do. I’m sorry if that’s not good enough for you, but it’s not about to change any time soon.
And where was I rude other than the bit I’ve already apologised for?
