Correction: their status within the Mudcat hierarchy.

Again, unless you can furnish specific information privately, I must consider your allegation to be unfounded. Most of our moderation is done by responding to specific complaints, not by reviewing every message that gets posted. If a post is objectionable, contact Mick or me and give us the name of the poster, date and time of the post, and the name of the thread. If you don't complain privately and specifically, don't complain in public with broad generalizations. And don't expect us to read an entire 400-message thread - give us specific information. Mick and I never fail to follow up on complaints, although we may not respond in the way the complainer wants us to respond. We also handle complaints in confidence - we don't identify the complainer.
