Open Applications for Comment Moderators, Community Hosts and Moderators!

No. My quote from your text and its implications on what I was asking is the extreme, suggesting I want this to be the "be all, end all" as you put it of a moderators time, when I just wanted a little information. I figured saying it the way I did was more polite than using the term "strawman". I try to remain civil, at least to a point. It's also why I don't mass downvote someone's comment string when they are asking for information or a solution to a reoccurring problem. As I do not have all information, such as the unwillingness to step in on another mod's issue, it is impossible to have the same understanding of the situation as a moderator does, hence the expression of frustration, and the questions raised.

I have no personal issue with you, but it seems this is not productive. If my issue is going to be painted in a false light as to some insane demand that mod staff be here 24 hours a day, then this is useless, because you aren't taking my questions in good faith. I genuinely do not have all the information you do, so I must ask questions. I did not know you have a policy not to answer questions directed at other moderators. I did not know that mod staff will not input information to clarify. I did not know it would be unproductive in your eyes. These are factors I don't know as a user on the outside looking in, hence, my questions and suggestions. However, it seems you took them to be more antagonistic than originally intended, but I don't control that.

I am in contact with the moderator now, and am handling things with them instead. I will leave this up long enough for you to see, then likely delete the thread, as I'd rather not keep this up if it is going to turn out poorly and argumentatively.
