"Those of you who clamor to have trolls removed because they don't share your political opinions, "
I'm sorry Stilly but this a lie now too often repeated, that simply isn't true and unfortunately, has been invented by a moderator and now taken up by all of them
nobody has ever asked any to be removed for their beliefs but because of their persistent insulting
It happens that that one person happens to be of the right persuasion is immaterial - he behaves as he does that's what he chooses to do
I have little doubt that this thread will disappear, but in case it does I will circulate it to those who have posted to it in the hope that it can be nipped in the bud once and for all

We have been told by a moderator that we are forbidden to discuss moderation policy because you have no way of defending yourself - you have and use the power to close threads and some of you have taken to insulting and talking down to members (those to whom you are supposed to ve working for) as badly as the troll
You have fiefroofed yourselves from criticism in the way no other forum organiser has (in my experience)

I have little doubt that this thread will disappear, but in case this message does, I will circulate it to those who have posted to it in the hope that it can be nipped in the bud once and for all
Sadly
