Sorry Bill but the issue is about moderation. We know it's a tough job. We know you can't please everyone. But at the end of the day everyone has the right to complain. If the person making these tough decisions cannot stand a bit of criticism when someone else believes they have got it wrong, they are in the wrong job!

I agree wholeheartedly that the mods should not be subject to abuse but if, for instance, someone was to delete a post of mine which I felt was relevant or pertinent to a debate, for no GOOD reason, then I would feel hard done by and would voice that opinion. I would not abuse the mod, call their parentage into question or any such nonsense but I would ask for an explanation. If no explanation was forthcoming then I would assume that the management have reserved their right to unilateral censorship. Fair enough. It would say a lot more about them than about me so I would have no further need to comment.

Unless, of course, my complaint was deleted as well :-)

Cheers
