OFF TOPIC
I don't know how I missed this.
This is not a "Pick on rik_uk3 day"
Don't get paranoid, its not a "pick on Toddy day"
Well it does actually come across as that.
my reply is in response to what some see as over control by mods and while I may the most verbal about mod intervention, trust me when I say I'm not the sole thinker here. This is a fantastic site, but a little breathing space and room to blow off a little steam is required before the 'stop this' button is hit.
This site is one of the most relaxed sites going as far as moderators and moderation is concerned and believe me when I say that you get plenty of breathing space. You wouldn't on other forums.
On other forums you would of found yourself thinking about the infraction system and how it is hampering things for the comment above, which would have possibly proved a point one way or another, you haven't here.
All Toddy did was what she is supposed to do, she saw a potential flashpoint and stopped it dead, the "my way or the highway" is not the intention of the post she made, it was think before you post as it will have a direct influence on the tone of the thread. Whether that is the way it came across to you or not is not the point, everyone has the right to interpret things in their own way.
On Topic, Toddy is pretty knowledgeable about this sort of thing, she has been known to hand make period and re-enactment clothing so I value her opinion on this, as you will get a measured honest response, she could also probably come up with viable alternatives, not just on design, but on the textile used as well.
