I agree. The moderators have been great, and we owe them a big thanks for a
thanksless job.

That said, I don't think that Mr Whittington should be allowed to compromise our
forum. You don't ban screen names or accounts, you ban persons. I realize that
this is a controversial issue, but if you espouse principles, my feeling is that
you ought to live by them.
