OK, I see that Mod11 seems to be the most active. While I have not found her to be biased politically, she is almost hypersensitive to certain issues. Her motives are her own, but her actions do express a pretty profound caring for this site. She seems to me to be hypersensitive about the race issue, that may be absolutely representative of the whole staff. That may be the idea. What it seems like is that you actually can make a racist statement, but not a bigoted one. This is one of the ironies of life, the line between the two is both very fine, and blurred at the same time. No, I have not found Mod11 to be all that biased. But everyone is biased. Some will call her extremely biased because their post got pulled because of name calling or something, or that the opinion simply wasn't expressed properly. Even though the poster didn't see it as inflammatory or insulting, if she sees that it could be interpreted as such, what would you have her do ? Would you have her let it go on and let the site's image go to waste, to the point where some of the more desirable member leave, and others are discouraged from joining after reading our diatribe ? Would you rather they just let any abusive offensive asshole stick around here and wreck it for the rest of us ? I have no idea how this site makes any money, perhaps iyt is a labor of love so to speak. But any website wants hits and members. Every last word we type is viewable by the general public. Perhaps it is time for a "Members only fightroom" catergory. Somewhere people can flame each other and quote each other ad nauseum. Pick apart every last word of whatever. Just not available to the general public, that's all. It would be like making children leave the room if they are bickering too much. Hmmmm. T
