Oh I'm not excusing flags. It could have been handled a lot differently. But then the OP decided he wanted to argue it also. Both being smart-alecks and rude. For reading purposes, I prefer to have material in a digestible format. The OP was able to join HNI, log in, type a long argument which would be worth discussing yet can't figure out how to use the Enter button to break it up into a few paragraphs. I don't know that I buy that. I'm sure he already knows how to make paragraphs and chose not to. His choice but his consequences also.

I do agree with you on everything else (see, new paragraph). Chasing away new members isn't right or good for HuntingNet. My earlier post was not about flags and a moderator discussing his post. That's between them and above my paygrade. In reading the rules though, I don't think flags is going to win that one nor should he. JMHO though.
