Azizi, please don't take this as a brush off, but I didn't post the "compliment" to you and Shambles as a compliment. I was making a point. The point being that Shambles and your behavior towards others in the forum is always polite. Regardless, both of you have, (you not nearly to the extent as Shambles) found your way onto the shit list of someone on the management team.

You are absolutely correct to say "detest" is strong a word regarding you. But it isn't regarding Shambles. Max has just started a "flame Shambles" thread.

It is my perception though, that both you and Shambles (along with myself) have--on occassion in your case--had conflicts with management because you dared to criticize the way things are done here.

Personally, things don't seem that bad around here to me, or to have gotten any worse than usual.

What does seem to be happening is management is losing it, because so many people are now voicing dissatisfaction with their playing favorites, with double standards for different posters, and for the really awful habit of putting their nasty red editorial comments in, which is pure bullying behavior and completely unwarranted. Good moderators never do those things.

Nor do good moderators make public pronouncements about a poster the way Max just did about Shambles.

So, apologies if the word "detest" was to strong to apply to your personal circumstance vis a vis Mudcat management. I don't think it is for Shambles, though.
