Its hard to say that this action is objective. Plus, it appears duplicitous.

and the lightbulb goes on... a lot makes sense now.

Also, I know people are enjoying criticizing the moderating practices at CF on this thread, but let me say that being a moderator is a fairly thankless job.

Enjoying? no... the treatment some have endured has not been enjoyable. However, Christianity has a 2000 year old tradition of banning/imprisoning/exiling/burning at the stake/ relocating..etc. etc... those considered 'dissenters' by the moral majority. There is no enjoyment in being persecuted, as well as disclosing the facts of the persecutees.

However, I have enjoyed the friendship of all those who've cared to drop by.

And I'm sure being a moderator is a tough job. I wouldn't do it. However, I also wouldn't send out 'you are a coward',or 'you make me sick', e-mails either. I've said nothing here that hasn't been said outright or insenuated there. The only difference is, it's deleted there.

We did start a thread on moderator problems/biases/hate acts there. It mysteriously was deleted without any explanation. That is the act of true cowardice.

Really? Would you care to "out" a couple? I know GTX and badfish are the same, but I don't think that was a secret.

We don't have a rule about that here but if we learned of it happening we'd probably write a rule on it.
