Er....ok... if you say so

Correct.

What a surprise.

Well he didnt run into anyone did he so whats your point except for trying to create some sort of hardman persona.

Thing is Hudgell has already been in trouble with the law on the driving front, and runs a law firm specialising in compensation for, amongst other things, road traffic accidents caused by driving without due care and attention. To dismiss it as something trivial and then to imply that this criminal offence is committed by virtually everyone is poor form. There obviously aren't any moderators that are independent from clubs, as by definition they are fans of the club whose board they moderate, but there is an expectation (rightly or wrongly) that they rise above the behaviour of club apologist.

While I disagree with GML's assessment, surely mods should only be judged by their adherence to the AUP and after that the same standards as other posters - possibly even forgiving the odd bit of weary sarcasm that would afflict any of us if we had to deal with trolls everyday.

Kids, mods are not role models! unless you want to be a mod when you grow up I suppose. I expect they are mostly arsonists, fraudsters and drug abusers (which in no way affects their excellent management of the moderation process, of course).
