All's well that ends well
No its NOT !!
You lost credibility by not looking at the complaint properly. You should not have taken it any further than between you and D_G.
Your response was inappropriate for the message, as was later described to you.
You are letting people like D_G use you for silly complaints.
It was these types of 'minor actions' that destroyed past moderators and you are falling right into that trap.
As an old fart, D_G is a bully. Like the PPP government, dem wrong and dem want to be right.
Most posters was against your decision and it leaves a bad taste with you being biased.
Be cautious Riff, walk that thin line carefully, because there was mass resignations from this site in the past, that took a long time to rebuild.
