I thought he would have consulted you two about it.
I consult no-one. I do not have the luxury of time, so I act decisively. Mostly this works out better than consulting anyone, occasionally I find I trip over my own feet and end up face-planting myself on the floor. Which it appears I've done on this occasion.
For what it's worth, I'm still miffed at Ed (who is, let's face it, guilty of a hell of a lot of white knight-ing in the Ladies subforum) nominating Bothwell and I, and @Velocio deciding to act on it without checking with us whether we were ok with that.
Saying you'll take it away if we don't like it isn't the same as asking us beforehand. Much the same as making an offensive comment and removing it if people complain isn't the same as thinking about whether something might cause offence to begin with.
If you'd asked me if I wanted to be a moderator, I could have told you. You didn't, and you knew I was unhappy about that and you didn't bother apologising. I have to say I'm disappointed.
