I did my ‘moderator job’ and gave polite advice. I don’t see my actions as being in any way ‘rude’ or ‘uncalled for’.
It is a fine line to walk and this is not the first person here who has gone freaky on me after I sent a direct message politely advising them that their behaviour was against the Terms of Service or the Code of Conduct.
I can remember four others before this and to be honest I’m getting quite fed up with it.
