Perhaps I am wrong starting this thread and will withdraw if told to do so.
I’ve been a member on here many years and always found the Mods to be very tolerant and fair in all their judgements. Damian and Parksy , bless them both, have had occasion to gently chastise most of us who are still on here.
That chastisement was done privately first ,as many of you know first hand , secondly publicly if the miscreant didn’t yield and finally the thread was locked.
I saw them both as the perfect Mod with an Iron Fist ,99.99% of the time covered with a velvet glove.
More often than not the minor scraps between Forumites will resolve between the two with no blood shed.
I note on a recent case an Olive branch had been offered publicly with withdrawal of some script. I suspect the other was about to do the same restoring peace and harmony and no outstanding acrimony.
Threads locked and left unresolved imo advertise the wrong message to potential new Forumites.
Perhaps as this is the New Year and the time for reconciliation and future harmony we can all reflect, accept our parts using inappropriate language, apologise and carry on posting happily . Locked is just too terminal for me as it negates the valuable posts from so many other Forumites.
If this gets deleted I will understand😉
