There's very little "abuse" that I'm aware of, and in this case, Foo immediately put the mods on the case, so it's not really a big overstep.

This is the first overstep, and I understand Matthew's reasons, but he still should have contacted someone else to delete or edit Ambrosi's posts, especially given his involvement in the dispute. The dubiously honored members program has been in place since July, 2011, but until fairly recently, only several members have made use of their privileges, which are to allow them to keep their threads from being derailed too much.
Cheers,

In other words, it's fucking ludicrous that they couldn't get in touch with Foo. Last I knew, the landlines to NYC still worked.
You are a tailor and someone orders TEN PAIRS of pants at what, $800 a pop? $8000 worth of pants. Wouldn't you break your neck to keep that customer happy? Am I missing something?
I realize it's Italy and all, but having been there I would expect a higher level of service. Even the guys who gassed and robbed us on the night train to Switzerland left a note (it said "Mi dispiace" - true story).

Yup, family of 4 in a sleeper car, none of us woke up while they got our $$ and passports (which my mother was sleeping on top of). Italian cops suggested we were gassed, so I guess it's speculation, but my brother is a light, light sleeper - if he didn't wake up something was afoot.
This was about 100 years ago, btw
