Now do you think IF a host made a mistake about something***, they would admit it?



i bet that happens before an  irrational forum members owns up to being so. i have seen forum hosts admit to errors.  i have had forum hosts send me messages to explain why they took a course of action i have not agreed with.  What i have not seen is anyone proclaim "I'm a crotchety whiner who can't accept change and will complain about it every chance i get as long as i can get people to join in". The boo hooing about forum hosts is even sillier than the bizarre war on IK. If a thread getds moved or closed...so what...so the **** what.  make another one. When my life gets to be so hollow that a thread on a a forum being closed upsets me enough to go on repeated rants, just shoot me, please! All this talk about "power abuse" is absurd. Forum hosts have about as much authority as a crossing guard or mall security.  Sure, they have a badge of sorts but it just ain't the same as being a police officer.

Unfortunately, I've never been able to get people to join in...

Yes, humour must not be tolerated here.
 
Well done.

It was not humour, as you well know.

Absolutely was - but hey, you clearly know me better than I know myself.
 
Well Done.

I'm a crochety whiner, but my whining is generally confined to things that only bother me. I moan and fuss like a toddler when my bagel falls face down on my lap. When I can't reach the remote without getting up, I wail like a mewling infant. I complain whenever my brain itches and I can't scratch it without a coat hanger.
 
I usually don't whine about things that bother others. Forum hostiness doesn't bother me. If something I wrote was deleted or moved, I might PM the host(s) to inquire about it, but that would be the end of it. The way that I look at it, I'm just surprised I'm allowed in here in the first place. That doesn't happen often. 
 
Hang on. My coffee is cold. (throws head back and moans theatrically) Why does this always happen to me? Why? For the love of all that is warm and caffeinated, is it asking too much to demand that my coffee remain at the perfect sipping temperature indefinitely? Is it? Now I have to walk all the way across the room to the coffee pot to pour another mug. I can't stand it. This is too much to bear. My day is ruined! Ruined, I tell you! 
 
Ok, I've got a refill. I'll take a sip and try to put this behind me. Ow! It's too hot! Why does this always happen to me? Why? (puts head on desk and kicks feet) Why?...
