Welcome to my world....if I admonish the Turks for their Anti-China stance I fall from grace in the eyes of my Turkish friends....if I admonish the Chinese for their Anti-Turkey stance I end up the same place in the eyes of my Chinese friends - And I've learned that to my peril when trying to play, what I thought, was 'diplomatic' and 'fair', twice in the past !
So I just sat this one out for the past few days !
Judging by the amount of flak you guys receive; I am glad I turned down Webby's request to take up a Moderator role !
How does one tell a friend that you're being an 'arse' without offending him ?
How does one go a step further and admonish someone for trolling and off-topic posts when you're the biggest off-topic poster on the forum ?
But more importantly how does one hand a friend an 'infraction' that you know he deserves - not that he'd ever admit it - and you know that doing so will do irrevocable damage to your friendship ?
I have the utmost of respect for you guys
@waz @Jungibaaz @Manticore and others for trying your best to juggle these dilemmas while trying not to compromise on fairness !
