I feel like a mediator, rather than moderator.

Many PM's have been exchanged between lots of people over this .. amazing how "getting along" in cyberspace can be so difficult sometimes.
There have been tweaks to the thumbs, and I've asked a number of characters in here to stop being petty, and
make an effort to get along.
With internet forums, interpretation is as much about the "stories you tell yourself" when you read something, and how you interpret what's written ... rather than the intent & meaning of what the author wrote.
Often there can be a canyon between the two meanings, so go easy...
And remember .. this forum is where you share the stoke of longboarding...
