I agree that derogatory remarks are not allowed, and PM> I'd like to keep the friendly atmosphere TBUDL is known for, but why is PM> it worse to direct it to a moderator than to any other member? ;-) I'd ask the same question as PM. Furthermore, derogatory means, "...tending to lesson the reputation of a person or thing." It seems to me that the _remark_ of CK was not, in fact, derogatory. It pointed out a logical inconsistency on the part of a poster [a moderator]. If committing a logical inconsistency "diminishes [the poster's] reputation", then the error was on the part of the poster, not on the part of the individual who pointed out the [obvious]logical inconsistency. --
