I see this posed by mods a lot of the time and not to bash but think this is a way of saying "My way or the Highway" and I enjoy the forum.

This is a privately owned forum; theymos makes the rules not the moderators. We enforce them and there is a huge difference there.

Least you say it in a gentler way,seen another mod thats a little more crusty around the edges saying it in a more hostile manner.

Well, I don't mean it in any bad way. The forum is what it is, not a lot has changed over the years.

I can't tell you how many times reputable members here have told me in private they don't agree with the actions of staff or other highly ranked people here, but they refuse to get involved because it puts them at risk from being attacked and having their own reputation destroyed for doing so.

Bullshit. Whoever thinks this is very wrong. I can't say much about reputable members as I'm not in DT and don't watch the situation (closely), but the staff will certainly "attack you" if you disagree with them. The moderators tend to have different views among themselves in addition to disagreeing with theymos on certain rules and such. There's nothing wrong with that.
