First, yes, you can disseminate whatever you want via PM - that's like an eMail, whatever you do with it behind "closed doors" is your own business. Unless there's a harassment issue, we stay out of people's PM's.
Second, CLR does a LOT of work that the other mods don't have time for... we value his time and dedication and it only takes a second to realize that we're ALL human - he's been taking a lot of heat for removing posts and other things and *any* of us can have a bad day - I had one last week with a fellow AirTran coworker I particularly don't care for and had to take a break. CLR is taking a break for the afternoon because he realized that he was getting frustrated and that all the back and forth was just angering people and distracting from the importance of supporting our brethren.
Do NOT let the angst you're feeling over the Spirit strike boil over onto this board against your fellow aviation coworkers... Lashing out tends to get people lashing out right back and, on a message board, it usually just escalates. Let's keep our heads, stay cool, focused, and support each other. This is just the FIRST fight of many coming up, both at the LCC and Regional level and, in the next year or two, the Major airline level as well.
Keep your eye on the ball... No more personal attacks. You want to remove a mod? eMail the Webmaster. I submit to you that, right now, we have more important things to worry about... as Whine Lover says, YMMV.
