MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Moderators moderating discussions they're involved in? (and other mod issues)

One of the things that I like about MobileRead is that we discuss things like this openly. I have been involved in fora where this thread would have been deleted and in one the OP banned. That just doesn't happen here. It is uncomfortable to read this thread, especially for Zelda and Nate. But I assure you that there is not a discussion going on to close or delete the thread.

Speaking again as a member and not a moderator, it brings me pain to see others engaged in the flame and blame game that erupts at times. I really wish that the type of words I listed above would not be used other than in circumstances where it is entirely clear that it is jockeying and not serious. It is terribly uncomfortable for me to see people I really like sniping at one another.
