How else would you do it?  Do you want the moderators to discuss
Vincent, his postings, their opinions, _all_ in public?  That would
not be a good way to operate.  We vote on the moderators, and then we
let them moderate.  If we don't like the way they do their job, we vote
for someone else next time...
