Regardless of the contents of the Email and regardless of what you may or may
not have received from Djordje, your reference to a Jew in Aushwitz during nazi
times receiving a letter from a German in a previous post could hardly be
considered a fair judgement (and it was fairly inflammatory). I did not judge
either Will or anyone else based on any more information than was contained
within the postings. Will made a mistake and you compared it to Aushwitz without
supplying any supporting evidence. Can you not understand how this would be
considered to be anti-moderator rhetoric?

You may know more about this particular incident than I do (or you may not),
however, this quick jump to condemn someone else for their actions is in poor
form.

One other thing you should consider. The moderators cannot really defend
themselves. They have a job to do and they get condemned if they do it too
harshly and they get condemned if they do not do it harshly enough. If a
moderator removes a posting, people get real defensive about it.
