Where have I taken abuse?
I think that the way you've spoken to has been out of order. How many times have you come under attack from Grahame? It was only last week you had quite a few posts aimed at you directly. Or how many times has the ban of Jackie been called into question.
I am often not on the forum and so cannot always mod threads that get spoiled.
True.
But when you do get on, you could take steps to make sure that what is constantly happening comes to a halt because the members are really at your mercy. It's impossible to read some topics or to debate (EG the Luke Mitchell topic) because people are in there solely to destroy. Or maybe ask for a second mod since now everything falls onto you.
