Can we complain about mods, or maybe get one replaced?

It's not an accusation - it's a fact. (I don't think it's all that "passive aggressive", either.) We have a moderator who has the ability to exert power and control over the Retail Vendors thread - regardless of whether he does so or not - who is also a Retail Vendor. It's my opinion that this isn't good for the forums, as it could be viewed in a negative light.

He also pinned ebarlow's BST thread prior to Eric quitting BYOAC. You two are the only other bartop vendors I'm aware of he didn't let the fact he sells bartops stop him from doing his moderating duties.

I'm sorry, but you're incorrect on the fact that I "don't sell anything". Regardless of the fact that I don't have a fully-functional CNC, I still have a stock of my own fight sticks for sale. I will also be opening my website/storefront shortly, and have PM'd Saint with a couple of questions that I need to get answered, prior to releasing the information publicly.

My perception/opinion certainly may NOT be indicative of the public's feelings. That's why they call it an opinion. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it any less important. In my opinion, you're being rather one-sided, and argumentative, which is fully within your right.
In my opinion, Haruman has been more than fair to everybody - myself included. My opinion isn't meant to be a personal attack. I like the guy. I've talked to him via PM and email offline. Sure we disagree on things from time to time - and in some instances, I've crapped up his threads a bunch and have apologized and asked him to sanitize them. I don't bear him any ill will whatsoever.
Beyond that, I have no idea what got you all upset.

You're missing the point, but I get it. It wasn't meant to be personal - it's a viewpoint. It's certainly not sour grapes, as I do know that I've complimented his work and have recommended him to others.
For the record, I like Haruman. He's done a lot for the community, and has been a cornerstone to this hobby. He's a good and fair moderator. I like Malenko. He offers his time, good information, and quality graphics work to the community. I like Yotsuya. He makes me laugh. He's never without something to say.

You're misusing the idiom sour grapes, English Teacher.

Well Fed Games:
Not sure what there is left to say. Complaints were aired, the mod has responded (in a respectful way, from where I sit), Saint has chimed in as well. This is a great forum. There is nothing in the hobby that compares. Not sure what the reason is for the high stress is around here lately, but I hope it fades soon. :cheers:
yotsuya:
No, I don't think I am. But that certainly doesn't change my perception of you, homeboy.

Good lord... pbj's laughing his butt off somewhere, I'm sure.
