The problem Joe, is that any time we try to have a serious discussion involving facts and controversial issues the moderators delete the posts or close the threads, yet allow the abusive people to fill the posts with junk.....so long as the abusers share the mods ideology.

There is extreme bias in the moderation here, I suggest one little conservative to ensure fair play....is that too much to ask?

I notice that you have been starting several threads lately with the potential to allow deep and honest discussion of issues which will be of great importance in the future. To discuss these issues, members would have to abandon their entrench social and political positions and examine the subject in an unbiased way.

That will never happen when moderation itself is biased.
