I too would hope that an edit might be made of your comments about a WW2 personality. Patron is from the same country of birth, (which you may not realise) and it is not a term to use about ANY FlyerTalker for any reason - IMO.

Moderators have a pretty thankless job, and whilst not all FT'ers will agree with all their calls, using terms like that is surely not necessary?

100% agree with OZ here, that was really, really inappropriate!


On the topic: Every moderator of course has his own way of work and of understanding the moderation guidelines. I would think that Patron is 100% within those guidelines. It is really a thankless job and I don't understand why sometimes there is such a hassle about the one or other closed/moved thread. Especially if you understand that Patron doesn't just close a thread but provides some information about why he did that and puting in a link to the new position of the thread so that it can easily be continued at its new home.

That is really much work and I don't know many other moderators that invest so much time and dedication into their work (me included...).
