Actually,  this is the type of thing we are having a big problem with,
lot's of very critical comments just like this one (and the one
I'm making right now I'm afraid.)   Please don't take offense but
even if your facts were straight, the comment pretty much begs for
trouble.   As it turns out, Bruce couldn't have said what you think
he did because he is not involved at all in the Chris W thing, as
I think he already said.   I'm sure you misunderstood him.

I would like to make the appeal to the whole membership that when
the new moderators are elected, let them do the moderating.  It's
tough enough and even though the intent is well meaning,  you've
just added a new bunch of variables to the equation so to speak.

What will happen is that we will make some decision, perhaps to make
a pulic post, or to privately deal with some matter, and then
someone will come along and give a speech like yours.  The moderators
will try in most cases to keep it off the group,  but someone will
feel obligated to offer their own public rebuke.  And then the it
gets to go around all over again.

I will return the smile Nathan, no malice intended.
