moderate moderator?

[kailua]

Most will agree that Dynasty is a fine, intelligent, well intentioned guy who perhaps holds an idyllic vision of how this forum should function. Some might also add that he appears to have forgotten that open discussion and the ability to “criticize and be criticized” without fear of autocratic retribution from an over zealous moderator is an integral factor in the give and take that has mad 2+2 educational and successful.

While Mason and Mat have stood up and taken the hit, the PP fiasco was actually brought about by a moderator who has been exhibiting an increasingly overbearing disconnect.

The precedent of relying on member polls regarding policy/member issues has recently been established. A forum is its members. Please refrain from a hair trigger lock/delete.
