Ditto, to ALL SB said!!!!!

There isn't much that we can say about the moderating issues without falling into the same trap of hair pulling and finger pointing.  But everything SB said is absolutely true.  When some moderators misbehave, ALL mods end up paying the price in one way or the other.  Over the years many have been accused of doing what perhaps another has perpetrated, all the time having to feel as if with tied hands.   But this is another subject now.

I certainly do hope you will reconsider, especially after perhaps taking off a few days to recharge your batteries.  Like the moderating situation, I hope you realize that the people who are giving you a hard time are not numerous, but the same small number over and over, whether by handle or number.  The rest of the folks here derive a great deal of information and power into their lives by the experience you have to share.  I don't think that for the time being anyone on CZ has the knowledge to give the kind of advice that you do, although certainly we all mean well.

I have followed your posts for the past couple of weeks and I'm keenly aware of what has transpired, so I don't want you to think that I'm making light of any of it.  And yet having been on Curezone  as many years as I have, I have seen the ebb and flow of ugliness, and believe me, I have been the target of it more times than you can imagine.  I have taken my sabbaticals and writtten many an impassioned letters of complaint to the Powers that Be to try to extract some justice.  Many of those pleas have been ignored completely.  It is frustrating to say the least, but I keep coming back.  Why?  Because there are also people here, and I believe the great majority, who are examples of humanity at its best.  Some of these gems have been around for a long time, others have left and come back after a long time, and new ones come in who bring talents and experiences which are valuable for potentially thousands out there.  I believe that you fall into that last category, and it is a shame to think that the tiny fraction by comparison who belittle and misconstrue your messages are the ones to win out.

Consider me your friend; I will leave you with a quote I read when I was 17 yrs old in a Japanese fortune, which really helped to shape my life:

 "The responsability of tolerance always falls on the shoulders of the man with the greatest vision"

May joy and blessings overflow on you!
