Exactly which line did they cross? I'm just looking through the forum rules, and I see...well, no rules.
I'm not trying to be mean, but you have to realize that moderating once a year is pointless. I've hardly ever seen you on here, not when people were being called pedophiliacs by the people bagua and Nick are arguing with, I've seen my wife get called names by the people you're talking about, I've seen people stealing our handles all day and never, never have I seen you here.
So, the point is, no one is going to listen to you UNLESS YOU BEGIN MODERATING MORE THAN ONCE A YEAR. That's how it works. No one respects you or even knows who you are, because you don't moderate. You don't even have contact info. There's weekly posts calling people idiots, you never show up.
This forum has no rules listed, how can you seriously expect someone to hold to rules? Especially in such a heated debate.
If you do not have time to moderate, find someone who can spend the ten minutes a day, or just give up on moderating.
Just a little friendly advice from someone who knows. You've established no rules, and so you have no authority. You don't even have a real handle.
