Hmmm, an apology for performing one's duty as he sees fit... An
apology for politely requesting an action via PM? How about an
apology for inconsiderate PM responses? How about an apology for
ignoring a moderator's polite request?
Reasonable people, with common sense, can read something and come to
differing interpretations. These differences can be debated, and a
concensus formed. These are reasonable actions and outcomes. What
is not reasonable is disparaging people because of their opinions.

What is not reasonable is you coming in as a new moderator and on the
first day turning everything upside down by ruling that URLs to
websites cannot be posted. This forum has been in existence for about
three years and has had many moderators, but before this nobody had
ever suggested such a rule.
Now, when postings by a widely divergent number of posters who do not
have a history of agreeing with each other on other subjects object
that our postings had been pulled, you accuse us all of being
"impolite".
Meanwhile, all the other present and former moderators disagree with
your actions. There is a major revolution going on now.
It so happens that at least one member of the FOC has gone away on
vacation for a week or two and for that reason your actions cannot be
overruled and the posts restored.
