Over the last 5 years, I've witnessed an occasional dustup or disagreement , but never anything quite as unprofessional as Jewlz' last post.

I missed whatever happened last weekend, and haven't seen any of it on the forum or in PMs, but this post by Jewlz will do nothing to help the situation.

If Dave referred to a moderator with anywhere near the language suggested, he got away easy with a week off. Other sites would have rewarded him with a lifetime ban. Same deal for coming back online with a different name.

Being a moderator is a thankless, difficult task, and as a group we need to support their decisions. Whatever happened could have gone away quietly, but posts like this last one and a couple others Jewlz posted in the last few days just keep jabbing at open sores. The "Done" thread Jewlz started didn't help matters much.

It would be great if Jewlz would take a couple days off from Fanatics and let things settle down, rather than trying to get members to choose sides.

One request - It would be nice if Dave refrained from adding some reference to being moderated in his avatar when he is allowed back. That's happened a couple of times in the past, and it also keeps fanning the embers.

There's plenty of nasty stuff to go around in lots of other fields. It would be nice if we could see a return to calmer times on SSRFanatic.
