I woke up this moring to a PM i found very rude. I was threatened to be banned if i quote someones picture of his computer again. I was never asked by him to stop, as this was his only pm.

Im not sure if you guys tolerate rude mods like this but i dont find this professional at all. He also stated im wasteing his time. I dont know what the deal is but its absurd

If anyone can help me out ill be glad to show you the PM. Thanks!

It would of depended on the Language you may of used in your post, if at all it was rude, or unsavory.
Admins have bad days too just like the rest of us.

And what you type can often be misconstrue, or taken the wrong way by another person who reads it to be more than it actually means, or meant or say.

Putting that aside, it happens from time to time if you bear in mind what you post, can often be thought by another as more or something else in there own judgment.

We all have done it at some point. So do others.

It's just this particular moderator is a little too gung-ho. He has sent me PMs as well for breaking his rules. I say his rules because I did not violate any of the THG rules with my post.
