Dramatics, maybe it's just me (running on 3 hours sleep right now) but I'm sure what your last post was saying. Dramatics = Academe? Academe lied to other mods hoping that they would tell the users and that it would lead to less drama? Academe is only following Mike's rules? So Mike has a rule that when someone questions why you delete a thread you should post some snide comments and then delete their complaint?
By the way, Academe has the habbit of making comments like "don't assume that was me", while at the same time not actually denying responsibility for a post. It's the same with her modding. On DV she constantly [span style="text-decoration: underline;"]implied[/span] that she was not responsible for the rash of random thread deletions, but when pressed, she wouldn't deny it. Very sneaky.
As far as Academe having Mike's full support, from my experience Mike didn't give a rat's ass about DV and the modding staff, so my guess is that he simply doesn't want to deal with the drama of confrontation and so he allows a troll to moderate his board. Arbitrary thread deletions didn't kill DV in the past, and it won't kill it this time either. Mike knows this and so he's really not interested in the situation. I could be wrong, but this fits his general perspective and character (do nothing and then when things reach a crisis point issue a P.R. statement to appease the users/mods).
Someting you guys don't know is other mods, except Orca and raerae knew exactly what was going on because I emailed them and told them. Mike and others at ClubZone have known everything from the start, including those emails I sent Orca, purelife, Lise, and raerae.
So you told Mike that you were going to lie to your fellow mods and he approved. Very professional. Can't say I'm surprised.
Mike and another regular DV moderator have been in regular email contact with me over the past month, and they have been a great support through all this.
If the other "regular DV moderator" is who I think it is (since there are only a few active mods and you've alienated several of them through your dishonesty, it's not hard to guess who you're referring to), then I will believe that when he posts it himself. From his own posts here and on DV, his support has been conditional at best (he seems almost as nervous about you as the rest of us) so please don't misrepresent the situation. I really hope he's not the gentleman you're talking about, because if that's the best you can do then it says a lot about your popularity with the other mods.
