Can't agree with you there Michael. Less liked? Target? I don't think they
should try to forge decisions based on popularity, but on fairness and the best
interests of CCC. As for being a target, a personal attack towards a moderator
shouldn't be treated any differently than one towards another member. Moderating
isn't and can never be 'fun', and I would never vote for someone I even
suspected saw this responsibility as such.
