It's in bold, with 'Moderator' underneath, top of every post. Compare the text to other usernames. It is actually a bit confusing. I didn't see anything on the page that says who is actually the mod on the forum. I guess I'd have to go into the listings.

What? Where? Do you mean the "too much verbiage..." remark? If so, yes, I was quoting Lucky, and addressing him there, too. Otherwise, I'm not following you.
My mistake again. You clearly said "Lucky..." at the head of the paragraph, and by the time I'd got to the quote I thought you were talking to me. "You talkin' to ME?!" I probably need to slow down a bit.

Still, on the other hand, I have to say I find your point can be a little patronising and idealist when you're on the receiving end of it, that if someone offends us it is an opportunity for our personal growth. I mean, I know that it is, I just mean that that's not the whole picture. Anyway, it's probably worth sympathising with someone's annoyance a little first, before telling them to make the best of it. Quite why you have a problem with someone being 'annoyed' rather than one of the other things you suggested, I have no idea. I feel that lucky was probably trying to restrain his anger a little for politeness sake. But maybe he was just 'annoyed' and that was the right word.
