Yep, being a referee is always a tough job. Enjoy your break, but don't be a stranger, just get painting and let us see it!

Prost!

Hi Steve
Sorry to see you go mate you have done a grand job , and I fully understand your reasons , and having PMs and having to explain your actions and decisions is bloody appalling .
I think people tend to forget this is a modeling site for a hobby I truly love , you guys do this voluntarily , I certainly would have bloody imploded if I had been questioned as th the validity of my my moderating .
Get back on the bench mate and get back to enjoying this "hobbey" that we love
All the best Chris

and having PMs and having to explain your actions and decisions is bloody appalling.

Yep. "I would have done this". "You should have done that". "Why didn't you do such-and-such". "Can I suggest that next time ...". Fed up with it mate. In fairness to the broader membership (and to maintain some perspective) it's mainly the same few "usual suspects" every time. The vast majority of guys are fine. But the carping and whinging by a handful of "squeaky wheels" wears you down eventually to the point that you just can't be bothered with it any more.

I certainly would have bloody imploded if I had been questioned as th the validity of my my moderating

It's all the more annoying Chris when you're being asked by members who weren't even directly involved (i.e. it's none of their business anyway) to explain and justify calls that you didn't even make.

Get back on the bench mate and get back to enjoying this "hobbey" that we love

That's the plan!!

Steve, you will be sorely missed as a mod. I thank you for bringing us the FOTM. It's helped me stay on track to finishing half started projects. Good job sir and I look forward to seeing your well deserved painting ventures.
