That's not my perspective at all. 

Contact another admin by PM to try to make your case if you haven't already.  I don't feel that I was abusive, yet you were very insulting towards me when I tried to clarify my action and express my concerns.  And your thread was something of a trainwreck before I supposedly tried to derail it from my perspective.  It was misplaced, and I provided the link that made the case.  I often move threads, but I don't always take the time to explain why as I often lack the time.
I had even tried to offer some understanding with my first post when I responded to others by saying, "I read it as humorous though.  I quite commonly joke around with a straight-face often employing absurdity and hyperbole.  There are so many different ways that people interpret intent."  I think I may have been too generous.

I did offer a formal warning due to your lack of discretion when discussing your perception of what goes on in the collab zone.  I did not remove your Prog Reviewer status until I had consulted with the other admin.
Mine was general comment, though, about contacting any admin if people have concerns or wish to contest an action.  If I wished to contest an action by an admin, then I would contact another admin.

I would rather you contact other admin about this and they can investigate and assess your grievances.  That is better procedure and if it is politely and thoughtfully handled, it is more likely to lead to a positive outcome.

Since you feel comfortable replying to me, I will reply to you. It is imbalanced to suggest it any other way. That's one of the things I took issue with in your PM--you said harsh, arbitrary, punitive things, and told me I was not to respond. Now, in public, you're doing a softer version of same.

The issue is that my avant-garde prog music's credibility was established here on ProgArchives almost fifteen years ago, yet you suggest and enforce your uneducated judgment of it as "non-prog", apparently because of the (in)actions of the collab teams. It's not as if I screenshotted their damning Collab Zone messages, or named and shamed a single team member for their Collab Zone activity. I didn't mention any Collab Zone activity regarding any other artist's music--what exactly did I breach, security- or trust-wise?

You've never listened to my music. You take the false high ground while refusing to engage with the core issue I present--which is how I described you previously in this thread.

Note the edit you added: your faux-Brit insinuation attacks the discretion and trust of the one whose privileges you're 'concerned' about without a single example of an actual breach, yet you cannot even be trusted to answer a straightforward inquiry in a straightforward manner. 

If another admin wishes to join the thread (the purpose of I Have A Question For You......? ), they are welcome, but accountability is not something you're exempt from. I'll note that I also reported a post or two in the other thread for attacks and derailing, but unless your response was the admin response, there was no admin response.
