generic grumbling and kvetching about a just deleted post... come on, it was subtle enough.

KK has always been doing an excellent job moderating.

President of the debate team? LOL...nonsense

Listen, we all agree that the mods have a tough job sometimes. Also, sometimes even a mod can either cross the line or abuse the power just like "non-mod" posters. No biggie...it happens. KK seems like a good guy, as does WChiang. They both got over it and aired the opinion in Rants/Raves. The system works - let's move on.

No offense to anyone in particular, but I for one am with the mods on this one. They moderate for free, and quite frankly >> do a damn good job considering the amounf of posts there are every day.

The other thing everyone seems to be missing is that the mods are HUMAN>> like the rest of us. They have feelings, and passions just like everyone else.

And lastly, if the mods were to follow the TW policy to a "T", almost every post in the rants and raves section would be deleted. Let's not kid ourselves>>emotions run very high in that portion of the boards, and there is always insults flying left and right. Yet posters flock to that section, and don't seem to complain about all those insults. ?? Why? because it would ruin the flow of ideas that goes on there.

Fortunately, we have this forum to discuss openly how we feel about things, and for the most part have the opportunity to get our own views across. Nobody was shot or killed in the thread being discussed. Let's keep things in perspective. Both sides of that argument **HAVE** BEEN ABLE TO GET THEIR OWN POINTS ACROSS. Whether or not some posts were deleted.

Well said Drak...I know that some of my posts (according to TW policy) should have been deleted and they were not. The MODS do allow us to vent. The job they do is thankless and we should appreciate their hard work. I for one think KK is a great MOD and seems to be a good guy with a sense of humor.

I am glad to have found this message board and all the great talks and advice that people give. I wish I had this when I was younger....an oh...ITS FREE! Not everyone will get along and I love the arguements. In closing...I predict Nadal will LOSE to Federer in 5 sets in the FO final.
