I will repeat this one more time, as has been iterated and reiterated to you publicly and privately: the Moderation team did NOT just address you. You keep assuming that this is the case, despite my repeated advice that it is not.

Secondly, the OP has politely and friendily been PMed herself over the matter, encouraging her to return and advising her that she is in no way responsible for the closure of the thread.

I do not know what apology you want from the Mods. We repeatedly requested that people cool it in-thread (only one should be required); we addressed parties off-thread who then persisted anyway; we've repeatedly explained to you why and how we have not been biassed, why we closed the thread, and why there is no organized "group" that you so frequently refer to in pejorative terms; we have explained how disagreement is not hostility; we have explained how your assumption of being threatened through words you've misquoted ("short end of stick" vs. "wrong end of stick") is not valid and occurred through your misunderstanding.

I have spent more time with you on-forum and off-forum trying to explain and clarify than I have with anyone, ever, and yet you continue to willfully and unconstructively distort or ignore my repeated explanations, clarifications and requests as it relates to moderation actions and decisions. You still ask of the mods an apology. You ask so with the premise that the Mods offered the purported insults to the OP, despite explicit actions by the Mods to STOP it (subsequently ignored).

These are distortions, Kevin. You're seeking apology for something in which you were (partly) the cause. Having called the mods biassed, and having ignored our requests, and our on and off-thread words, you call for an apology from us. If it is called for the OP, as mentioned, and despite your groundless assumptions (the same as you make about whom has been addressed over that thread) an encouraging PM has been sent to the OP about the closure of her thread. If it is you requesting an apology, you will not get it.

Cheers,
