Rather than communicate with Baker directly, Carey posts his objections here, trying to make the forum look bad, gets upset and declares he gone.
*Completely agree with this. I've moderated more than one forum and would have a little fun with the senior members occasionally. Always handled it the way Baker said he did. With a Mod Edit note in the post and PM too. If it ruffled the posters feathers I'd delete it, most often it led to more fun banter with the members.

Moderating forums is not as easy as many make it sound, sometimes feelings get bruised.
