No, I didn't mean that the rejection per se was wrong (for once), I just think it's unhinged behaviour to:

- post abuse in a moderated group that you've helped to create to supposedly filter out abuse;

- post something and then reject it yourself (although I guess one could have second thoughts between making the post and rejecting it);

- compliment *yourself* for the content of the *rejected* post in the rejection text, as if you're complimenting someone else, and without mentioning that you're actually the same person (would that ever have come to light if someone hadn't happened to have mentioned it in this thread?)

It is a bit odd, don't you think?

This does also raise the question of whether people should be allowed to moderate their own posts. If one has already decided to post a message then obviously they deem it "passworthy" (unless they change their mind in between).
