So many people upset by incautious moderation policy >cannot be wrong! There is always r.g.c.c. for those who cannot stand moderation. Is that what we want here? I don't think so. I do recognize a very valid point you are making. We may want to be very careful and err on the side of caution. Also, we should try our best not to offend. But in any internet type media, offense will be taken from time to time, even when unintended. I support fully moderator's opinions in pulling posts. I also feel that a moderator has not lost his tongue because they are now serving as moderator. However, they may need to consider any possible impact from their statements as an additional weight. Yet another reason I am very glad I did not become one.
