Thanks for the support guys.
Entitlement-based complaints seem to come in waves, much as the way "natural oscillations" often occur.
The greater the degree of freedom, the more licence there is to protest so in the interests of the former we're willing to cop the hit as a "necessary" price therefor... with varying degrees of patience from mod to mod.
You know how it goes - as long as peeps don't
blatantly (not sarcastically) disrespect the mods, we'll accommodate them.
