Besides, there's a difference between moderating and participating in a debate just like any other member. You [BE] seem to have implied that Dean responded to you (negatively) intentionally putting his admin hat on and exercising his moderator powers.
All admin notes are usually specified as admin notes, otherwise you're just facing a member of the forum, who's replying to what you said, within a debate. Questioning, from this angle, his moderator rank or duties makes no sense.

I apologise to Dean for being impolite and accept that he did not intend a snipe or attack. I also take Ricochet's point about the roles.

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH AN ADMINS OR ANYONE ON THIS SITE JUST HIT THE FLAG ICON AND IT WILL BE DEALT WITH AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
WE DO NOT START THREADS ABOUT INDIVIDUALS ON THE OPEN FORUM.
P.S. Dean is about the most helpful person you can find here.

Wow, I feel kind of stupid posting in that other sniping thread before noticing this.
Dean has to be one of the most thoughtful, helpful, wise, considerate, ethical, balanced and philosophical posters here. I'm surprised to see that he was even thought to be sniping, He's also very open to communication so such a misunderstanding could have been cleared up quite quickly had you PMed him. I still say that commonly if you find a problem with someone, PM them and ask them, as it may be a misunderstanding. -- not in all cases of course, but with a respected and secure member of the establishment here, it's the least you could do. It's a much more considerate way to approach someone.
Making hasty conclusions is not thoughtful, nor is attacking someone... Words and intentions can be interpreted in different ways. If one must make assumptions, assume the best until proven otherwise ... principle of charity and all that.
Dean likes to discuss and explore ideas, as well as share facts, and he's not one that I see attacking people, but he's open enough to share his opinions/ perceptions, and he has the authority (both moral and vested) to enforce the rules when needed.

On a serious note, if you have a problem with a member of the Admin
Team would you kindly express your grievances via Pm to another member
of the team.
Thanks

I saw a snipe once- beautiful bird... Could never understand why anyone would want to go sniping.

Two stories. Long time ago, many years ago, I was glad playing sniper in CS. But now, not anymore.
But once ago, I was also young and was on one forum about certain online game. I was posting a lot and he hated me for my easy-going behavior. So he waited, was gathering evidence of my minor crimes. Waiting for time when he will have enough material to contact admins and to ban me. It happened, evidence showed to them was for period of 1.5 years and with hundreds of posts, one do a lot of mistakes, off topic posts and so on. he destroyed me. :- /

Ever heard of Travian ? Well, three years ago, I played this stuff (other word starting with s..t), it was page of our guild. They also accused me of being spy for enemy.
Here, I'm hell trying to behave well. Not that someone would be watching me, but for the good feeling.
