[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1383627, member: 13098"] Biased Mods? Wow, that's news to me. If they were biased, I would have thought that I would have been drop-kicked and/or banned at some point. I generally try to be civil, but sometimes I am just having a bad day, you know? Let's see, I think the rules prohibit politics, religion and personal attacks don't they? I know the mods have sometimes gone beyond that to keep certain discussions out of certain threads. I suppose that might come across as biased, but I haven't necessarily disagreed with them. And if I did, I would probably handle it in email, civilly. I am not privy to every discussion the mods have, but I trust their judgement overall. I have had a few threads closed while I was typing a response. At the time, it kind of annoyed me, but it wasn't that big a deal and I got over it within an hour. In all, that was probably for the best since I can't remember the people involved now. If the threads hadn't been closed, that might be different. Do I always agree? Probably not. Does that mean I think the mod decision was a bad one? Probably not. I like this place. I like the fact that I can point my friends here and not worry that somebody is going to go off on a profanity-laced tirade that is inflamatory and potentially offensive to a friend. And if somebody does, I am pretty safe in assuming that one of more mods will take care of the situation. Perhaps that means the mods are more draconic than I realize. But, to me it means they are doing a good job keeping all the posters civil toward each other. As an internet community, we don't always agree, but we can disagree nicely. [/QUOTE]
