Donna, Don’t blame you one bit. You were pretty vilely used by this person. Your reaction seems pretty understandable. But, I don’t think we need to throw the baby out with the bathwater yet.
In fact, if your ready to take on the responsibility of being a mod, perhaps you could volunteer to take up some of the apparent slack on this list? I’m sure there’s a reason that this particular incident has been allowed to go un addressed. But, I’m pretty sure it’ll be taken care of. Anyway, just a thought about modding this list.
