Well I am not sure why he tagged you in the first place.
I would have just ignored this thread and it would have died a death.
Again, his actions have had the complete opposite effect of stoking the fires and keeping this thread going.
Far be it for me to tell you how to mod, but personally I would have just told HIAG "no" and left it at that.
In any case, giving out Saintsfan08's location, in a public thread, without his consent, would, at best, be unethical.
HIAG had no right to ask you to do that and I am glad you didn't/couldn't.
Just slipping into SJW mode, as I do from time to time, when I feel that the, dare I say, bullying, has gone too far.
I know its an internet forum, but I still dont like seeing folk gang up on someone, in any medium.
I think PISKIE and HIAG are long overdue a meeting.
Either just bang, or wrestle it out. Because their public tete a tete is becoming tiring.
... to be fair to brb ... not something I'd normally advocate btw
... he only got involved after HIAG had first entreated another member of the super mod team to perform an IP check .... that mod had then reported that the two accounts did not appear to share an IP linkage ... it was only after it was pointed out that IP linkage wasn't conclusive proof of anything (and it isn't by the way) that HIAG then demanded that brb perform the tasks that he subsequently did adding in Las Vegasgate to the mix ...You know HIAG's traits ... he ignores anything that detracts from his stance on any subject whilst hanging on to anything that he feels does support his views, bit like a dog with a bone ...
HIAG seemed very confident that he was able to commit Saints08 to any of his demands and Saints was hovering on the thread intermittently as brb pointed out ... only disappearing when HIAG logged on and vice versa ... obviously coincidental ...

... but I broadly agree with the other points you make ... for what it is worth ...

they're all Spuds! 
to those that has made this thread their priority over the last few days.
