The point of the word "hypothetical" is that you refer to something that didn't
happen.  In this case this did happen, I did it.

I did it because you were kicking people in the face.  It became apparent that
it had become very easy to delete a post, and that you were doing it often, upon
little provocation, and with no notice.  This made me furious and still does.

As far as I can tell, you and Harald are both into this, but I can't believe
that Peter is, despite occasional posts by people other than Peter that you guys
are acting together.

You made it clear from before day one that you wouldn't tolerate discussion of
"moderation issues" on CCC.  I think that was a crock then and I think it is a
crock now.  A moderator should not have the power to absolutely forbid any
discussion of his decisions.  Your election was not a mandate to do this kind of
thing.

This is a very sad place when you have to save the URL's of posts you make that
disagree with a moderator on some issue, so you can go check later to see if
they are still there.
