    It seems these fly by night moderators are on some kind of a witch hunt.
    Moderators need to look a little closer to the heart and think of the effect modding has on a poster's karma, because when it comes to karma, I think Tom Saywer said it best:
    "He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it - namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain."
