essxjay,

With all due respect, I find the tone of your previous post not only condescending and defensive but rather divisive as well. Forgive me, but as a moderator I think you bear a little more responsibility than the rest of us lowly members (although we should all strive for this) not to foster the "us versus them" mentality that permeates your post above.

"Those preceeding you don't happen to agree"? "Your definition of MilesBuzz is tiresome to true FF's"? Who are "those preceding" us? What is a "true FF"? Just because we don't agree with your line of reasoning should not make us lesser individuals; it seems that's the case to you, which is a shame. To dismiss out-of-hand a group of people who, for better or worse, are trying to a provide for dialogue with the best interests of the "community" at heart is hardly constructive.

And as for your request for "evidence" substantiating nologic's claim about selective enforcement, just look at the boards! In just about every forum there are numerous posts that are outside the strict scope of the posting rules--or, according to those rules, would better fit somewhere else--yet some are moved, most aren't. The example he gave above is but one of many. While I'd love to provide a list, I'm afraid it would take me until next week to compile!

I have nothing but respect for those who volunteered for moderator positions. Admittedly, their work on these boards is (to this point) thankless, and it is occasionally controversial. One thing it should not be, in my opinion, is adversarial. It seems to me that you're taking every comment/suggestion about ways to improve the boards (at least, from those of us who feel they need improvement) personally, and are responding in kind. That's unfortunate. I expected better.
