1) Jake may have engaged in some troublesome business dealings, and I can understand you wanting to take away his moderator status for liability reasons. After that, it would be his decision whether or not to return to the forum. He should not have been banned.

2) Once you make a moderator a moderator, provided he/she has not blatantly allowed a forum to get out of hand (which Chris hadn't), you should not exercise Nazi power over that person by telling him how to do a job you are not paying him to do.

3) Kris illustrated a great point with a funny (albeit somewhat vulgar) metaphor. You banned him on a whim. I've read content 10 times that bad on this site with no consequences.

I'm assuming you all are buddies with Igor, and he lets you do what you want on his site--which is terrible business practice for him. You march in here like you know shit about DSMs, and kick the veteran members out on unsubstantive charges. Best of all, you ask everyone to remain calm and not get upset.

What drugs do you think we're on? This was not necessary. It was a power trip that you hypocrites went on for no apparent reason. Kevin is the last surviving reason I would want to belong to this site, but fortunately for me, I have other ways to contact him by now.

Your not making a point your calling them all sheep cause the majority didn't agree with you and you make contrary points. You say in one post, you understand Jake trying to take down the stickys which after posted are property of Automotive forum and he knows will continue to help the members and even said he didn't completely understand why Chris did that but yet he did the same exact thing and then you say you understand us taking away his Modership which lead to his actions? Pick a point and stick to it.

So once Chris was made a moderator he should do whatever he wants without using the same guidelines that every other moderator on this site has to go by? Then when he blows up and try's to do damage we should just say oh well, let it be and when he requests to be removed we should say no, we all love you? Get real.

Kris was vulgar and used language I asked him not to use a few posts up. He did it to purposely mock me and my authority as a representive for this site and that type of behavior will not be tolerated. I then went easy on him and he broke the rules once again by returning and contacting me to throw insults. I did as he requested and banned him and then was nice enough to offer a return in exchange for a apology which he refuses to give. He doesn't want to return. The door is open he will not walk threw it.

For those of you who are staying, thank you for understanding the current events and for those of you who are leaving, sorry to lose you but if the only reason your staying is to argue a one sided argument. I will help you leave cause you fail to do what you keep promsing and go away.

Any further questions can be sent in PM's (to Josh) do not start anymore threads on the subject cause until things calm down, no matter how good they start out they keep ending up like this.
