This isn't a dictatorship, I'm not going to remove EvF solely on the basis that one friend doesn't like the way he posts.
So why didn't you tell your friend to PM EvF about it instead of making his very first message here one that I would never write as a first post on any forum no matter who the owner is?

And the report button is not a valid way of addressing that any more?

Let's not complain on the state of another ones garden when we have weeds to kill in our own shall we?

For the record, I can understand that, but the way you and bef went about it was 100% wrong IMO.
@Eilonnwy: For now I do not see the need for more mods, I think the mods/user ratio is fine the way it is. If EvF's writing annoys people so much call him upon it in either pm or a direct response.
