Of course there are those who think that you shouldn't have even chuckled, let alone reported doing so, simply because of who said it. If an "acceptable" person had said exactly the same thing then it would have been OK. It's good that you have once again risen above such silly schoolyard politics. It's also no wonder that you (I think it was you) resigned as a URCM moderator, considering how much importance the majority of other moderators routinely attach to "who said it" relative to "what was said".

Without you, kat and the others who are able to look at things impartially, UNNM would have become completely unusable (and that's genuinely unusable, as opposed to when certain people describe URC as having become "unusable" when what they really mean is "I didn't like being challenged and outdebated").
