Firstly I personally disagree with your step 2, but let me give you some background I think you may have missed. The current batch of Moderators gave their views on the above as their "election platform" before we the members voted for them earlier this year. None of the current Moderators fitted with your Step 2 before their election, and therefore should not change to your step 2 after their election. Next round of Moderator elections MAY provide a moderator who agrees with your step 2, and she/he MAY be voted in. You too may stand to be a moderator. I don't think being a Moderator is much fun, they cannot please all the people all the time. Also, what is an offensive fight to one viewer may be entertainment to another. Sometimes, in amongst these "bickerings" still valid computer-chess arguments are presented. Cheers guys Tina Long
