I do think that Sham can go on a bit at times, and at times on things that I find hard to see as being of sufficient importance to justify the obsessiveness. But although I have not really done any thorough review of relevant postings, I note with some regret that I am left with a bit of an impression that some moderators may have been tending not to observe the self-restraint and balance that ought to go with their roles.

I certainly feel that some posters other than Sham have been allowed excessive liberty to intimidate other posters and/or to post in terms of sexual reference that is tantamount to threat. Mostly I'm in favour of sexual reference but not when used to imply threat. That, I think, is more serious and more damaging.
