Yes, but one would assume that their own posts would mirror
their policy.

Well, actually I did complain (and thus I am contradicting myself :),
but the post was part of a trolling
thread which was removed in its entirety, so the moderator
got away with that :)

I agree, but I perceive it as a policy shift as I can't recall
having ever seen this kind of moderation before, although I easily
could have missed a few cases. But if the moderators want to increase
their work load it's not my problem...

E.g. can we call specific GMs spineless cowards because they expect
computer operators to accept draw offers? This has happened you know...
