Tact

I read the "Keep out" posts on the thread I started with a piece of my work. And now I just want to take the time to get out how I feel about this.

Respect goes a long way with me, if you want respect you give respect, if you give respect, you get respect. It's very simple. I feel like the point to be made would have come across A LOT more tactfully and respectfully, if it had been sent in a PM and not displayed publically. However, the moderator thought otherwise. To that, I say, you can't pick and choose which of the "guidelines" you want to use. If you are going to post on a thread I start, about me being a novice, and quote the "guidelines", then you should have noticed the part of the guidelines that states "You should raise reminders or complaints, especially ones involving Moderators, in private by PM, not in public on the Forums." I just feel that if you felt this needed said then you should have sent a private message to me, and worked it out with some tact and decorum. However, if you don't have tact, you don't have it and there isn't much anyone can do.
