Personally, I thought you handled it reasonably well. You made it very clear that downloading the FW would be risky and even foolish.

Your point that there was already precedent and that its better to have a discussion where moderaters can provide suitable warnings was a defensible one. It was also in the early of hours of the morning for you. If it was an error it was an understandable one.

I am a very new member here but I appreciate the light touch and intelligent moderation. I hope that doesnt change even if you are no longer a mod.

Thanks for your efforts.
