I'd like to suggest that this thread becomes 'inactive'. IE simply let me 'die' in peace. :) No need to ramble on about what has happened, because it is (a) water under the bridge and (b) can't be corrected. And I'd rather be remembered for other things than as the person that started a stampede of folks leaving CCC. My problem doesn't have to be everybody else's problem... IMHO... I simply object to moderators (a) making statements that sound offensive, even if they didn't intend that; (b) deleting posts or threads on a whim, with no email or anything (I hate to have to come back to check and see if something was deleted, as it is counter-productive); (c) refusing to allow any discussion about moderation policy. Because moderation policy is _definitely_ "on topic". I was one of the original three moderators, and welcomed any input on how it ought to be done. This is perhaps an example of how 'democracy' doesn't always work. Because we don't 'elect' police chiefs since 99.999% of the people are unqualified to assess the capabilities of the 'chief'. Perhaps 'electing' moderators is a bad idea, particularly here where there is no clue about who is really who, except for a few of us, and 'voting' is pretty much anonymous. Too easy to stuff the ballot box to get someone elected for purposes other than to support the CCC charter. Not that that has happened here, as I don't know. But it definitely _can_ happen. And that's a potential large 'pain'...
