I wonder how many who think the moderators are too anal or too tough moderate boards. I spend some time moderating on another board, and the inability of people to read directions (such as a thread that says "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING"), or make excuses why they're exempt from the rules is astounding.
I've not seen anything out of line here. In fact there have been some cases where I've thought, "Wow, maybe Tight Slot hasn't seen this yet."
