Berk,
I think you need to re-read Robert's Rules of Order. You can't 2nd your own motion. And you can't act as judge, jury and executioner.
Besides that, the 2 quotes which you and Paco took out of context prove nothing. The first quote was in response to a cryptic and sarcastic remark you made directed at ID:

Why would you
feel the need to post a disclaimer? You would never PM admin and complain about anything or anyone... or would you?
While the 2nd quote was taken from a discussion where Hand-solo proposed that board form a private and exclusive clique of specially invited VIP's (which I guess Handy wouldbe the one to choose). Since you obviously didn't believe (or understand) ID's explanation here is the full quote:

Back in '05 Hand-Solo suggested a private VIP section accesable by invitation only. In other words only VIPs that had actually met each other in CR would be invited to join. Unfortunately the idea was met with some harsh resistance by a few and Handy responded in his usual crybaby manner of removing his posts and threatening to never post again.
Yes the the idea was met with some "harsh resistance" including myself. Not sure if the resistors were a few a you categorize them since most of us who were appalled by the idea vented our feelings to the Admin via PM.
Just for the record the harsh resistance was not against the idea but rather the proposed implementation. It was not as you represent it
"suggested a private VIP section accesable by invitation only. In other words only VIPs that had actually met each other in CR would be invited to join". The plan was Hand-Solo and Hand-Solo only would decide on the initial 10 members. After that those members would decide who to invite. There was no mention of it being open to all who were VIPs and who had met in Costa Rica. It was rather an exclusive little club reminiscent of those formed in junior high school by the supposed "in crowd"
In the 1st case, you imply that ID would go and whine to the admin about a private matter between him and another member. But the supposedly contradictory post that Paco dredged up is really a completely different situation. It was not about some private issue between ID and Handy or anyone else. It was about proposed changes to the Forum. Who else to voice one's opinion to other than the Admin, since it directly involves his forum and the Admin has final say? Furthermore, as I said earlier, ID is not one to say anything in private that he wouldn't admit to in public. In the case of Handy's CRT Clique, ID posted his views on that subject publicly in that same thread. I seriously doubt that he said anything that much different in any PM he might have sent to the Admin.
In the case of what happened between Florida and CV, if you read back carefully you will see he has not really taken any sides in the dispute between them:

Perhaps, but there are emails and receipts that are at the basis of the Bank of America disputed charges that seem to have merit. Without taking sides, this will be resolved in due course based on evidence of fact by serious people, not on a flipping board by a bunch of whankers like us, present company included.
Very true. So lets let this thread die until B of A makes a decision. Then let Florida or Casa Vino, which ever one feels vindicated by the decision, post the final outcome. ...
Given that view, I don't see why ID would even want to PM Florida. And even if he had, I definitely doubt that he would deny it.
So whether your gripe is about whether ID is somehow lying about really being the one to send threatening PM's to Florida or whether you merely think he is being hypocritical in his policy on what, when and to whom to send a PM, I think you're wrong on both accounts. Personally, I think this really isn't about either but really is much more about harsh treatment you may have personally suffered from ID in some of his previous PUBLIC posts on this board.
