Bob, why do you take it upon yourself to wreck threads?
What is your personal motivation?
Who gave you the power to do this?
I really mean this, I do not think I am breaking any rules.
I never try to demean anyone on SP, nor do I toss bombs.
I am just very dissatisfied with your idea of just what "Moderating" is.
Many many good folks have split this site for other sites.
Do you care that you are ruining what was once the best climbing site on the net?????
I figgure this thread is going to be deleted in about 50 seconds, after you see it, but I feel better because I wrote it, it shows my true feelings.
I don't dislike you or anybody on this site.
But I do think you are doing a horrible job.

Elves try to salvage threads wherever possible, not wreck them. Although subjectively, any one person might see an elf intervention, a hijack,or even an individual post as "wrecking" At the end of the day it's just a matter of opinion. AI recall on one occasion I had to take a thread off into a corner, spend ages cleaning it up without wrecking the flow of the conversation and then restoring it to "general" I suppose the hijackers and trolls involved would see that as "wrecking"
Bob's personal motivation is altruuistic. This is an unpaid assigment to keep the site running as smoothly as we are able. Nobody ever claimed that elves would do this perfectly.
The power to "do this" is at the discretion of the site management. They seek volunteers at times, and every now and again someone is foolish enough to accept the gig.
You are not breaking any rules in the above post (but I'm not sure exactly what you mean)
I can't say I've ever seen you demean anyone or "toss bombs" but what's your point exactly?
It's your right to be dissatisfied and to say so. If it's siomething that can be improved, well what the hell, constructive criticsism is a good thing. (I have to say though, taking the entire OP as a complaint is very vague and therefore quite difficult to respond to in any meaningful way)
Quite afew people have left the site for various reasons. In amongst them, some left because what they see as too much moderation, some because they didn't feel there was enough moderation, and others for a whole variety of other reasons.
I don't believe Bob is ruining this site, and obviously others share this opinion. Look around the site. It's hardly a smoking ruin.
So much for your figuring that the OP would be deleted in about 50 seconds.
As far as I know, no-one dislikes you either.
You have a right to your opinion on site moderation just like you have a right to an opinion on anything else.
I think you meant "respectfully" which is really cool, given that you are obviously pissed off about things.
