OEM, you can deal with it if you want to. There is a solution you know, just pull some people into a social site to chat up a storm and say whatever you want to. Being a moderator is an important function to keep this site together for the purpose it was meant for. Just my 2cents...
Sure, but we've also seen the moderator on a power trip...it's ugly and sometimes has disastrous results...just sayin.

Well, seeing how OEM seems to want to air his dirty laundry publicly, let me clarify just what's going on a bit...
This isn't first time, or even the second time he's drawn my 'official' attention. On prior occasions, I very politely offered some pointers on how to post to avoid future problems, besides linking to the forum rules. OEM has barely managed to stay within those guidelines/rules, and slipped over the edge once again with a now-deleted post, and that deleted post and my PM to him is what he seems to be taking exception to. Each time he's come on-site and apologised and stated how he didn't mean it... I'm not going to comment on his possible reasons for that.
But the fact remains that after three incidents within a fairly short time, he still doesn't seem to be any closer to understanding the forum rules. I'm the only mod on here on a regular basis, so the responsiblity falls on me. I'm not trying to ban anyone, but how many chances do you give before deciding they're unable or unwilling to follow those rules? Everybody can make mistakes, and I recognize that, but at some point you have to draw a line. My PM was a warning that he's getting ever-closer to that line.
I'm closing this thread after this post, and will delete any further threads on this particular subject. Let's get back to friendly discussions and tech help, which is why this forum is here...
