Only a select few (Michele's "Fab Four", as she has dubbed us) seem truly "moderated". Despite the fact that she openly attacked us, Michele's post was allowed to go through. Even if you accept what she said as true, the moderator should have rejected the post. Reality would therefore seem to indicate this is more of a gag order than moderation. An effort needs to be made to ensure that the moderation is enforced EQUALLY. To allow such a clear double standard is to defeat the purpose of HAVING moderation. I will be the first to admit that I have ALWAYS been fond of causing a stir on this list. Only the newer members, and the lurkers, have been spared from my flame at some point. None can say that I have ever been afraid to speak my mind, and that hasn't changed. I am also well equipped to deal with people who wish to flame ME for my outspokenness. Sadly, it appears that now the playing field is no longer level for all "contestants". For those of us in the "Fab Four", we have effectively become sitting ducks for the others. Understand that I have NO problem with people taking their best shot at me, metaphorically. Calling me out, though, while NOT allowing me to respond in kind, is an absolute travesty. Keeping things as they are now simply doesn't jive with the perceived goal of moderation. Everyone's posts must be judged by the SAME criteria if moderation is to work at all. Different criteria for different members can only lead to an even worse situation.
