OK, let me get this straight. You folks want consistency in how the threads are moderated. So a moderator deletes a couple of posts that were clear attempts to hijack the thread from its discussion of moderators that aren't consistent, and you are mad about that as well.

Shambles, and others, you have won. You have pretty much taken the Mudcat from the wonderful haven for folk musicians, famed and unknown, and those that love the music, and turned it into a gathering place for a bunch of malcontents who love to hear themselves talk. Look at the icons thread, but only for the purpose of figuring out who has left. Way to go.

And those that feed these creatures, you are no better. You are as responsible for what it has come as they are. And on a personal note, I am too. Really makes me sad.
