If a moderator does something unreasonable, then a reasonable person may
complain on the forum (I never said never). But first, a reasonable person would
send an Email to all of the moderators in order to get an appeal if justified.
If denied, only then would a reasonable person consider complaining about the
moderators on the forum (and even then, it is probably not a reasonable action
in most circumstances).

This person did not do that. This person did not post a reasonable post in the
first place (and especially in the second place). And now this person indicates
how hard it is to not use four letter words in a moderated forum (boo hoo, poor
me, the moderators are so mean to me that I may not be able to control myself).
Quite frankly, I would not lose any sleep if this person just went away quietly.

What is so "Archie Bunkerish" about that position? I have never claimed that
people may not be justified in complaining about moderation. But I do claim that
it is rare that people are justified in complaining (it is a moderated forum
after all, people should learn to live with their agreement when they signed
up).

Where did I say that? I said saying that something is lousy when it obviously is
not, is lousy. I made no comments about any deletion of any posts. Try not to
add spins on my comments.
