MODs are not infallible....
Some make an occasional mistake.....
Some make a lot.......
And some have a rep for playing for the wrong team......
Would you give more respect to a MOD that "manned up" and acknowledged his mistakes and apologized to a member wronged by his actions?
It affects all of us that post here...... It affects reviews as well as participation and often MODs that are too heavy handed can stifle participation.
