[QUOTE="Spiral, post: 77820, member: 19371"] *mops the administrators brow with a damp copy of the boards agreement* Sometimes, you just have to accept that some poeple like a bit of an argument. It keeps them off the streets. I'd let them get on with it... within the bouds of good behaviour of course. The problem with boards is that once it is written down, and people start reading from the top, they don't necessarily get to the end before they feel the need to jump in with an opinion :? whatever might be written later in the discussion. And once it is written down it becomes very, very real. And you don't seem to be able to change your mind, because someone will always find that quote of something you said before you had your eureka moment on whatever issue it is about. I think online boards just make people behave mre like people, and sometimes people behave badly :? I used to mod another (non-health realted) board until I decided I didn't have the time for the petty arguments and sensitive egos. I joined because it was fun, I began to mod because I wanted to put something in to a community that I'd gotten a lot out of. Why shouldn't moderators join in, I bet they are not receiving any kind of payment to moderate and an awful lot of angst at times, based on my own experience. We went over to anonymous moderation, but it was dead easy to tell who was who, becuase of thier individual writing style :? and slipping from profile to profile was a but of a pain. Whatever you do, you won't please everyone. [/QUOTE]
