I think your comment here is rather uncalled for Phil....Unless your aim is to exacerbate tension.

Are you seriously suggesting my aim is to exacerbate tension?
As the moderator on here my intention is to prevent tension and your suggestion is quite uncalled for.
It's patently obvious that this thread started to de-rail simply because a post wasn't read properly.
If I read through a thread and another member posts "hang on members......before this kicks off" then obviously things have gone astray.
I think it quite pertinent to remind members of the need to read posts carefully to avoid misunderstandings so it doesn't happen again.

Phil....I'm not new to moderating tasks. I have been a moderator on a few forums over the past few years and I've have experienced all sorts of tricky characters during that time.
I have also during that time, come across moderators who over police their forums to very negative effect.
If you had taken the time to read through this particular thread, you would see that I have openly apologised to Myers immediately after I became aware of a suggestion from other forum members postings that my response to Myer's post was taken to be read as not the most relaxed and friendly as it could have been. I would have thought, to any reasonable human being, that would be enough, unless Myers felt the need to discuss the matter further with the moderators of this forum. I suspect that Myers has not done this, so I am not clear as to why you felt the need to wade in with your post.
If you care to notice, I have been an active member of this forum for a number of years. In my 1100 or so post during that time, I have tried to assist other forum members with anything that I felt I could do, thrown in with quite a bit of light hearted banter. I have made quite a few friends on here and have met them in the real world......All positive stuff.
Back to you Phil.
