Hello Nick,


Another couple of thoughts.


1. I accept that your work here is voluntary and your time limited.Is there not therefore a case for more moderators perhaps?


2. However, you say you get to stuff when you get to it.Understood.


3. You criticise 'denunciation' as an approach but please see my polite approach to John Beaman on the HD.38 thread. Still no reply.How long ago was that?



4. I've mentioned that being treated with respect is important to me.So, what does it say that it is you that is responding to me,though my issue is not with you? Are you undertaking more than your share of the moderation of TOCH?



5. Given I have no way of knowing why John Beaman acts as he does I am left with various possibilities:


a) That he is unable to accept criticism.
b) That he made the change because he is credulous.Hopefully,when he next receives a report from the board member to move a post he is more sceptical.

c) I rather imagine (and I explicitly include myself in this) autism on TOCH is much higher than in the background male population. Perhaps John can't cope with posts that appear 'not to fit'
d) Age related declining mental abilities.Believe me. I get that.And I sincerely ask John whether he is in fact able to continue as a moderator.


I have no idea which of the factors in point 5 apply. Perhaps none do. I'm not trying to be insulting here,but to understand.Despite which I cannot help but observe that the overworked John Beaman found time to move a thread.Even though this was unnecessary.


Whatever,your take on this I believe that a need for more moderators does exist and that Ruy needs to consider whether to ask more people to assist.


Regards,


Clint
