Thanks again for posting here, Nick, and for your clarifications and further reassurances.
You absolutely don't have to answer to us about your choice of moderators. This is our Amazing Charts forum, and we were talking among ourselves.
What you do over there is your personal responsibility, certainly, but onlookers are going to talk about the choices you make.
As to the "spin" issue, I think that my phrase, "sacking", was more accurate than your euphemism, which was that he was "on holiday from posting". My phrase expressed the meaning that someone was pushed out, and turned to find the door locked, and yours did not.
Now that Al's account has been restored, I will say that he was "temporarily banned from posting."
