Astro:
It's because I think that in other cases we have shared in the blame but in this one I don't think that is the case. It's the fact this is a general thread and you are using it to bring up an inaccurate account of a personal gripe (that I feel is completely unjustified) combined with the general tendency I see for mods to be hamstrung by our attempts to be respectful of people's privacy and not post details of incidents. However, you've brought this up, and I felt that your portrayal of events was unfair, inaccurate, and unreasonable. I feel that you were treated extremely reasonably by a very patient staff, of which I was a member. I have no desire to let the "code of silence" allow you to distort that history.
That's about fairness to me and the other mods. It goes both ways. As it goes, this is a threadjack in a thread that deserves to continue on in the vein it was written. I'll let you have the last word if you like. If you want to discuss things in the open, you're welcome to make a different thread. For what it's worth, I'm not at all hostile to your return, just to getting dumped on unfairly.
