I think I'm out

I did or said nothing to or about him in either the first or now this second case. And I can have no respect for him or his position while he is condescending and hypocritical in as much as he would admonish someone for "name calling", then do the same thing in the same paragraph.

And since the threat of banishment looms for namecalling I can only assume it should also apply to a Mod as well as the rest of us.

IF I had called him a dumbass or a smartass (which I did neither) I could understand the duress I've been placed under. But it was HE who referred to myself and another member by those names.
