I must agree. We aren't setting up public trials/lynchings here such as the
Roman times with Barrabas, etc. The moderators were chosen as they were deemed
to be of fair judgement, mind and spirit, and the issue is up to them. If the

differently when the next elections come up. That is as it should be.
