It's too bad really

It is kind of frustrating that one cannot add a moderator or admin to one's ignore list.
It gives that person the power to say what they want, degrade however they choose... and one cannot do anything about it.

I'm sorry you feel that a moderator is being degrading. That's certainly not our intention here.

Ian, I hope you pm'd John about this moderator. I'm sure he'd like to deal with this ASAP. I can't believe any of our mods would willingly or knowingly degrade anyone in the forum. It's just not our style. We pride ourselves on being friendly and helpful to all that enter here.

Gentlemen, I have had my say. It will change nothing. Offence is a perception by an individual. I ignore the perception and any future initiation of the perceived offence, and there is no longer a problem. Lets just leave it at that
