/// If you think my being a Moderator compromises my right to express an opinion, then you are mistaken. ///
By the very fact that moderators are allowed to join in the various debates, and the fact that they might oppose other's views, then obviously that removes their unbiasedness, especially towards those who happen to hold opposite views than they themselves.
That is only human nature, and no matter how they try to convince us that is not the case, who would believe them? I certainly don't.

To be fair, when I had cause to contact the Spare Ed ( when the Ed was off sick) they replied in a couple of days initially and we then had a little back and forth email exchange discussing the situation and options in a timely manner, bearing in mind they have other people to deal with not just me, so no complaints there, but give them more than a day they can get busy.
I moderate a couple of other websites and it is a thankless job to be fair whatever you do unless it's disposing of the Viagra boys etc, but I do think the site is somewhat overmoderated sometimes. Things on here feud and fester because people never really feel they can complete a disagreement because the thread is either closed or removed first, so it spills over onto thread after thread ad infinitum then. There is a massive difference between an interesting, sharp, heated debate which ought to be encouraged imho to liven the place up a bit, to someone trolling just to be spiteful and malicious. Anyone can see the difference but sadly these days here, they all get lumped together and the threads closed.

AOG, views do not get removed. Answers that break Site Rules do.
If a correctly placed opinion gets removed, this should be reported to the editorial team because that means it was unfairly removed.

It is still entirely dependant of what some 'VIEW' as breaking Site Rules.
