I think you're missing the point. I have no problem with opinions, but Bas's
opinion is based on faulty information. He was complaining about some random
post that had the subject "MODERATION: blah", which he assumed was posted by a
moderator. Wrong.

If you have some sort of legitimate complaint about the moderation (i.e., based
on something that was actually done by the moderation), I would be more than
happy to hear it.
