I'm really disappointed at the attempts to character assassinate here, I'm genuinely trying to do my job, nothing more & nothing less. I can't constantly waste huge amts of time on this sort of thing, this is the explanation I gave ZoGg, outraged again at TMO's bias against him (yes he's said that sort of thing quite a few times -not my words):

If the edit revolved around touching what you wrote, & it wasn't a clear-cut rule break, then I absolutely would've told you.

Cheers.
First of all it doesn't matter what and when you changed, you could at least add the edit note ( I had to go to diffs to understand what was changed), but as well you could inform me on that too. think of the shock i saw my post edited by you and i had no idea what exactly as i do not remember all my posts by heart. Anyway it went public and for good. As i said i would not publish our chats if you worry about that. And if you think you did the right thing you should not worry at all and if it is not right thing it should not happen again and something has to be done about it. Simple like that
I thought it would've been clear to you why it was edited, because I left a reason in the prior post (which you quoted) why it was edited. But it has since been edited again, so that explanation disappeared, I do my best, but what can you do!?

I'm not going PM every single user for every single post I amend, that's an unrealistic & unreasonable expectation. I always leave an explanation in the post that's been amended, unless it was a post whose content wasn't actually amended, & especially if the prior post (which it quotes) has an explanation.

But, I can see the flaw with that approach now, so I'll try to remember to include an edit explanation in all posts from now on, no matter the reason.

Cheers.
At no time have I been biased, I have only ever tried to ensure that the rules aren't being bent -too much. My conscience is clear, I know I did the right thing, like anyone though I'll sometimes make mistakes. As you've seen in our convo above, I'll try not to forget adding a clear explanation for every single post edit, if/when they're done.

The suggestion by some here (well, one really) that I'm behind every single poor mod decision (IYO) that's occurred, is just downright wrong, misleading, & extremely offensive. Please by all means some of you suggest a motion to have me expelled, if you think that's the fair & reasonable thing to do, it'll certainly give me quite a bit more free time.

Maybe one of you feel you can do a vastly better job*, based on your idealisation on how moderation should be done, & perhaps you really can. I very much doubt that though, as I take the responsibility very seriously (as one should), & usually ponder every single decision once & then several times. Amongst that I'll occasionally "err", I'm human. This is all I'm going to say, not subscribing to this thread, I honestly can't afford to waste one more minute on this, I'm sorry.

Have a good day.
*assuming you realise all the extra running around it can often entail
