Fortunately you are not and will not. And your post succinctly makes the case for why we do NOT have moderators. So reactionaries and those who wish to limit free speech cannot abridge that right.


Have a nice day, Fascist.

The "will to power" of those who want to suppress views that do not
agree with their own is a bit frightening, isn't it?  I think that is
something that needs to be considered what with all these pleas for
a "moderated" news group.  Perhaps what is meant is a "censored"
news group?  And whom would be trusted to be that censor?

I'll take it as it is, thanks.

Are people so fragile they can't stand to read views unlike their own?
What wimps they are!

Careful, Rita. Jerry Bowers will write a thread naming YOU as the second person to be moderated away.
