IIn jokerswild's case however I believe he deliberately and maliciously misrepresented the views of another poster which is a different matter altogether.

...and this is where I believe the crux of this issue lies.
It was not 'another poster' that he spoke about...it was YOU.
Given that you hold a position of power in this forum as a moderator, I believe the appropriate action in this case would have been for you to respond to his post, state the specifics of your difference of opinion with him, and then (as I suggested in another post) let the readers decide.
In legal language, because of your position, you should have recused yourself.

This is precisely why he shouldn't have "recused himself". There should be no difference in what would have happened if it were any other poster or the moderator, who in fact was just "another poster" until 2+2 decided to allow user mods. JW was given fair warning. I really am failing to see the logic in the people who are defending him. There needs to be some semblance of civility and order here in order to make this forum something more than an verbal Ultimate Fighting event.
