You still seem to not understand that this was no "one special case" as you call it -- it dealt with the moderators' general denial of allowing the CCC membership to discuss moderational issues in public within CCC. >>Therefore, I still think *anonymous* quotes of email messages from moderators >>with *strictly* moderational content are appropriate and thus must be allowed. > >So here we disagree. Keep in mind that only ONE of the 3 moderators is quoted. >Out of an ongoing discussion between the moderators maybe.

This means that you deem the official email messages that you send as a moderator to be *private*? IMO, this is simply impossible without applying double standards. Either you act officially as a moderator or you act privately as person XYZ. There is no room to mix the two -- they are mutually exclusive. As a moderator you cannot hide behind the curtain of privacy -- everything you do is official and should be subjected to public visibility if necessary. >I think you should accept and understand this. I have no problems with agreeing to disagree. Yet, I do not see a real change of attitude as for the accountability of the moderators in your posts or the initial moderators' statement. Therefore, I am still out of active participation in this club for the time being. =Ernst=
