As I said, I can understand the reasoning also... being MainAdmin at O-CuK holds the same issues for me as being mod at OCAU does for Cathar, so his stance I perfectly understand...
It's a weary world being a global mod on a large forum. O-CuK got the reputation of being a Nazi Regime here in the Uk due to our strict rules (that 80% of all forums in the UK run with, we just get singlehanded out due to the fact we actually enforce them), but those rules are there to protect both myself as the forum owner and my users at the end of the day. Constantly having to laydown the law and take the verbal backlash by PM in silence takes it's toll on you and decisions have to be made for the sake of keeping the piece despite the controversial topic...
We're fortunate in the UK that folks don't try to sue over forum antics... or that no-one has so far...
