I posted in the project guidance forum because I wasn't really sure where to post, and then instead of helpful advice, I get a moderator and someone else attacking me for my choice of included data points which shed an online manufacture in a bad light (a single completely true, unbiased, objective statement: that I was being ignored by this other manufacturer). They decided to attack me vs provide constructive advice on the problem at hand, or even to try to explain why they though I said something on the forum that I shouldn't have.
So if it can't be reinstated b/c one mod can't override another, no big deal, but I'd like a copy of it for my records. I posted some links in there that I find useful, and had I known it was going to get removed, I would have done so.
The other issue is that fact that a moderator came out of left field appearing to start a flame war. As a regular member with no admin access, what can I do to protect myself from either that person or that situation in the future?
I find the idea of prostrating myself to ask for help on a forum to be disgusting; I do not expect anyone to prostrate themselves before me for me to help them, and I work in tech support. Level 2/3 support with clients that anyone and everyone on this board will recognize.
I don't like what happened and would like to know what I can do about it, what I can do to prevent things like this from happening again.
Edit:
Oh yeah, might want to say what post it was:
