Sorry...........

Perhaps therein lies a BIG part of the problem. People are not "black and white" like computers, and by stripping away what YOU consider fluff, and only paying attention to what YOU think the person is saying, you often completely miss the point of what that person is saying.....and once you have that mistaken picture in your head, no matter how much that person tries to explain, it falls on deaf ears. Or you believe that means that person has nothing but malicious intent....when it is nothing of the sort.

Again....I have not seen ANYONE here who has taken issue with members in general who have paid for the moderator level. I specifically said in an earlier post that there are some who have paid recently with the best of intentions to help the site, and that's a good thing. What people have issues with is SCUM paying for the priviledge....and them and their money being welcomed with open arms.
I believe most of us thought more of this site and the integrity it was supposed to stand for. If you can't believe that is the true motivation behind the complaints, or you keep seeing the honest advice offered as just "fluff"...I don't know what else to say. Maybe I expected too much integrity, maybe I shouldn't care either.
