I've seen altogether too many instances here of late of moderatory power abuse and no one but those directly affected seem to care. It's just sad, IMO. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I certainly hope your not implying me. I've worked hard at trying not to ruffle too many feathers while at the same time doing whats expected of me.

No, Mike, you're not included in my running mental tally of glaringly inappropriate mod behavior here of late.

Even if you were it doesn't much matter as like previously stated, no one seems to particularly care outside of those directly affected and possibly a very few others that firmly believe what's good for the goose ought to be good for the gander as well.

And complaining about it seems to produce no results outside of being berated to a rather severe extent by the mod who enacted the questionable behavior to begin with and as Goob is somewhat unavailable more often than not the regular members here have little to no recourse so it's of little to no consequence what the rest of us think about it anyway...

Stop that Teh Prowla

Stop what?

i wouldnt say no one cares, its called fear of retaliation. which i agree is a sad thing.

dont be so sure about that, I value the opinion of many members here and consult them on many issues before action is taken.

I'm sure that answer helped him a whole lot. lol.

I don't cook so I can't really help you with that.

I've gotten in many a bitchfest with a mod that I saw doing something which I felt was inappropriate.

The only result from doing so was my repeatedly being told that "It's the internet, get over it."

I have no fear of retaliation, Mike. If I get on a mod's case and the consequence of doing so is that I get temporarily or permanently banned then obviously my input on CA.com isn't viewed as that important anyway. I'll go elsewhere or just find a different manner in which to spend my time online.

The bottom line remains that even when called out on power abuse by a 'regular' member the bahavior doesn't change and the member calling the mod in question out is pretty much universally viewed as a whiney-***. So I stand by my statement that those of us (the overwhelming majority of the forum members) who aren't mods have absolutely ZERO recourse against power abuse by those that are.

It's apparently an inescapable fact of life and we have no choice other than to **** it up and deal with it. It's unfair, it's BS, and it sets an incredibly bad precedent but again, those that actually care about it are decidedly in the minority.

Regarding the question on how to prepare the chicken you're planning on putting in your alfredo I'm a big fan of marinating the meat overnight in a mixture of Italian dressing and a pinch (or two depending on taste) of Tony Chachere's seasoning.
