In THIS and any other echo where he is considered a moderator, he will always
wear that hat.  I speak from experience in that respect.  Also as moderator, he
needs to follow the rules that he is supposed to enforce, and not ignore them

Nitpicking will get you nowhere.  If he is to enforce the rules of the echo, he
should follow them.  Period

They are not moderators, but sure, they should follow the rules of the echo.

A kettle is a pot by another name.

Nearly everyone has an issue of sorts, but they do not HATE.  That is a very
strong word.

Opinions are like *ssholes.  Everyone has one, and yes I fully expect you to
change it to the full spelling

Since the echo in effect belongs to the users (Fidnonews subscribers) there is
no official opinion, but civility should remain
