I haven't been saying much, just reading things for the past few days and taking it in. I wasn't going to post because I don't think my opinion holds much weight here, but I believe the masses need to speak up so heres my 2 cents:
1. Why hasn't O2 stepped down? I can't imagine not stepping down if I was in his shoes. The only reason I can see him not stepping down is if this is indeed a power trip for him. Hand in your badge bud, go back to good old regular posting, I'm sure the board would accept you back that way with open arms.
2. Why have the other mods just continued to defend him, without any real apparent reason to? It almost seems like you guys are just defending him because he's a mod and all mods should stick together. Like you are obligated due to a "mod code" or something. There's a simple solution really. There is one mod that dozens of people have issue with. No one has ever seemed to have issue with any other mods. Sometimes we make mistakes in picking mods. O2 turned out to be a mistake. Rectify it.
I understand that this is your board admin, and what you say goes, but you need to realize that the success of the board depends on your members, and if this stuff keeps up you might lose a lot of your traffic, which would be sad as it seems this has become the best Jays forum.
I know that if no change occurs I'm going to start to look for an alternative forum...not that anyone would miss me
