Who is they? I am a Mod, 80 is a Mod, and Johnso is a Mod. You had one person, who in fact is the Super Admin of the site for Internet Brands send you a PM. I suggest responding to them directly and get it cleared up. There was some back and forth on the Mod boards about this over the last few days, but as I posted above, it has calmed down. Send a PM back to their person for some clarification. As I understand it, "respect" is not a TOS requirement, but is implied in the desire for professionalism across the board.

In the end, this is just the internet.
