Firstly let me say I do respect your opinion and will even go so far as to say I've been around here long enough to consider you a friend.

That being said when you enter into a debate as in this case:

"Please, keep it civil. You all know the rules by now." b

This is what I object to.
Just my opinion others may or may not agree.;)

I cannot see anything of a threat in that. Just a simple request to "keep it civil" followed by the observation that we "all know the rules by now". Actually I am sometimes amazed at Ian's restraint.

On it's own it looks innocuous but along with other posts in the same vein it has a deeper meaning.

My concern is when the moderation is conducted publicly and pejoratively.

I was just wondering if Butch and Alan were married in a former life??? :confused:

Honestly the way you two go on is like a divorced couple that still secretly care enough about each other to argue just as a means of keeping in contact :rofl:

Just cut the BS and get a room the pair of you ;)

I can't say I care for your analogy. It might surprise you, but I actually quite like Butch.
