The few times that MM has pm'd it was never to "tattle" on other members. It has always been to point out what a terrible mod and human being that I am.
Also, and please take this the right way, this is a very popular and busy forum, for various reasons we're just down to Nate and myself to moderate the forum this summer. PM'ing us when a thread is going off the rails or people are insulting each other isn't tattling. It's helping us out, it's helping to keep the forum fun and about basketball instead of petty disagreements. I've said it before, it's impossible to scan through every post that is posted on here everyday. Things get missed.
