That is why I say there is too light a hand on the reins sometimes. There are more than a few threads that I can tell will go down the road to recrimination before much time has passed, and I would like to see them nipped in the bud before the miscreants jump aboard.
As was said about capital punishment, "Better 2 guilty men go free, than than one innocent man dies" If someone is upset because their thread is wrongly removed [in their opinion] that is not too high a price to pay for a more harmonious Mudcat over all.
I think that even Roger would be apalled at the road this site would take if it was totally unmoderated, which is what he seems to want.
