skofarrell. I accept that Moderators are not reading their boards at all times. Far from it.

HOWEVER in the time frame this thread was left unlocked (and wingless was locked down) all THREE of you Mods were on OMNI, and happily posting away. So presumably you all had ample time to look at the other threads on page one?

You have all decided for some curious reason to ban all comments in OMNI re these silly "reputation" points (and only Randy can advise if that course is suitable or not) - my comments simply request ya'll be CONSISTENT about banning all such comment there. Which you clearly were not.

cactuspete by his comments above seem to have stirred you all up which (co-incidentally? ) caused some of his later comments on OMNI to be edited by ScottC - and had you personally threaten him with "the suspension of your FT account".

'Payback' for the above perhaps???? Your image above of Sergeant Schultz does spring immediately to my mind for some reason.

This is my own observation, and I stress I have had no communication whatever with cactuspete on this, but several others have pointed your actions out in this matter and I was advised the comments removed were of a VERY mild nature by OMNI standards:

The FIRST post in the thread referred to the "moron in the White House" - yet none of you saw any problem with that or warned that poster about that having nothing to do with thread topic (Australian aboriginals) or threatened to suspend that person from FT.

I personally find someone American calling the US President a 'moron' on a travel bulletin board is equally as tasteless as calling Moderators gestapo. And even-handed Moderation would ensure civility breaches like that were corrected too IMO.
