I would be hard pressed to name many human beings worse than Mengele in modern history.
Must be hard being a moderator, if you didnt have them it would turn into a **** fight.

Good point, but will also say maybe mod's shouldn't mod in a thread their are involved in

1130473 2010-08-23 08:52:00 I am not suggesting for a minute that our Mods are Nazis.
That is apparently crossing a line, I do however, wonder
why it is alright for some on here to promote their commercial
interests (you know who you are, Digby)
yet others are accused of spamming.
Also I don't see how it is fair, that some here can use the word ASS in reference to
another member, and get no censure, yet I was BANNED for the same offence!!!

No worries though, I don't take it to heart or anything!! :D

1130474 2010-08-23 09:07:00 I find our mos to be fair and pretty much even handed, however just like us they are human and therefore do make the odd slip up now and again. I'm happy with the level of moderation on here, I have had the odd ban for flaming in the past so i'm certainly not immune from their wrath if they feel I have done wrong gary67 (56)
1130475 2010-08-23 09:22:00 I like it when mods ban people :) jareemon (5207)
1130476 2010-08-23 09:30:00 I prefer when people stand up for what is right. KarameaDave (15222)
1130477 2010-08-23 09:36:00 the mods arent bots, theyre not perfect, theyre not always online, but they do their best to judge each situation individually. and in this situation, i fully agree with jans desicion to ban angry because disrespecting a mod is unacceptable. jareemon (5207)

Jan wasnt simply called a nazi (that also wouldve been unnacceptable) she was referred to as hitler, the leader of the nazis, that is a deep insult, highly disrespectful and it definitly crosses the line as to how someone should voice their opinion. If I called my mum hitler, she would beat the crap out of me.
EDIT: also, there is a line between commercial interests and spam. Spam is unwanted, often annoying. Im sure no one finds digby's commercial message to be spam

1130479 2010-08-23 09:42:00 I didn't say it was acceptable to disrespect a Mod, the point I was making is that Mods don't always keep a sense of proportion and what is acceptable for one of their 'PETS' can be a hangable offense for someone else. KarameaDave (15222)

Lets get a few facts straight, its Jen not Jan. Jen maybe not the leader of the nazi's but is the leader here. But much like the nazis, what she says goes, right or wrong. And that is one other reason she should have had another mod(chill) whip out the threat of ban, while she was in a discussion with angry. That way the original comment of comparing Jen to hitler would have never been raised
