Some of the most rude posts come from the 'moderators' of this board. Then when their rudeness is responded to they simple edit or delete their posts.
The other 50% or so of rude posts come from general users -- who, BTW, can also edit and delete their posts as well.

They claim to be 'helping' (like Mother Teresa) but, what their really doing is promoting and selling their services.
I doubt if anyone is truely here for the sole purpose of promoting their own services. However, quite a bit of users -- not just moderators -- have links to their websites and/or offer installation/modification services.

Seems to me that Gossamer should at least recognize who these people are and remove them, at least as "Moderators".
If GT were to remove rude moderators, it makes only sense to remove rude users as well. why eliminate only half the problem?

I would think that as a Moderator of this board they must represent
Gossamer ThreadsBut they don't. The moderators represent the forum community. If they were paid, then they'd be representing GT. Otherwise, it remains a public forum with selected leaders.

it's beyond me why a company would endorse such representation.
I doubt GT endorses unprofessional behavior

Gossamer made a decision that this forum would be their 'how to manual'
agreed

ultimately they're responsible for the 'feel' of this forum
No, the end user is responsible for the outlook of the forum. My guess is that this forum is "provided as is, without warranty or responsiblity" like every free service in the world.
