I also have a HUGE problem with the fact that a moderator deleted a personal attack, yet decided to post the "gist" of the personal attack in their own post. That is simply wrong and sure looks like it was done to leave the personal attack "out in the open".

I seldom agree with
Camera Guy but that is a good point - and one which
tom911 made just as the referenced thread was locked. Maybe that was why it was locked?
I have no beef at all with B747 in 99.9% of cases, but that instance looked like (whether meant to or not) a pretty clumsy move to ensure his buddy
avek00's stupid and tasteless troll comment about
techgirl remained visible, even though his "Betty Ford Clinic" post was totally deleted.
Sean writes entertaining trip reports. Always has. He volunteered for, and was accepted as Moderator of that forum. So it is a very difficult position if flames brew up in a thread you started.
The suggestion he (or any other Mod) not be allowed to post in a forum they moderate is not practical or fair - IMO. Many forums have more than one Mod, so this can be worked around. But Sean is on his own, so may in that case need to ask Randy to intervene?
