3. That post is sitting in the mod board. It was NOT an attack.
I removed it, in order to avoid re-opening wounds, as well as
to avoid discussing a member who was supposedly no longer
here. That being the case, it seemed pointless, and was upsetting
you - only thus was it removed.
If it wasn't an attack then you deleted it just because I asked you to? Do you often delete posts because members ask you to? How many such member-requested deleted posts have there been?
You did attack her and you chickened out about it because you knew your Moderator-ship would be called into question by revealing your obvious partiality.
I have deleted other people's posts when they accidentally double
post. Members, in general, alter/remove their own posts, when they
feel that they might upset someone. Then, as a mod, I tend to clean
up the empty posts. Here, I combined both steps, but did save the
post for posterity, as I was concerned that we might have further
difficulties, and I might wish to reuse it.

4. OVERMODERATION? Good lords. We remove almost nothing.
I'd be very interested in seeing the 'almost nothing' you remove. And don't bring the other Mods into it by referring to 'we', I'm talking to you.
I know for a fact that you moved some of my posts and put into a different thread entitled 'Posted in wrong thread, Complaints'...I was actually trying to help with the Graelwyn/Bizarre bust-up by trying to get the attention of a Mod to stop it before it went too far. No-one took any notice, just moved my posts. I wasn't complaining about anything I was asking for help.
Personally? That's pretty easy. I've removed some flame wars.
I've also deleted some posts which are severely in violation
of the rules, or seem to express (even jokingly) hate speech.
Perhaps it's more than should be removed, but seemed to
fit my mandate.

5. This thread is being conducted in a reasonable manner, and
I see NO reason that it would be locked. A couple of posts getting
around the censor were deleted, and yours was edited, in order
to remove the offensive content.
Sorry you find my content offensive. I find your Moderatorship offensive but unfortunately I haven't got a big 'delete' button.
The removed content was simply the word, posted to avoid the auto censor.
No problem, if this was in the age restricted section. I removed the other posts,
which added nothing but discussion of whether that word could be used. I fully
understand why you used it, and have no real objection, but none of them should
have been there.

Bizarre's mail box was hacked. She complained and Bazza defended her and now his mailbox has been hacked. The Bizarre/Graelwyn business is not the issue here as far as I'm concerned. Who is hacking into people's mailboxes and why? And why is it only certain people?
PS. To the hacker...you can hack into my mailbox any time you like, I'm going on holiday, so I couldn't give a flying duck. (I've removed my own offensive content to save you the bother)
A good question. One assumes whoever did it
was clever enough not to leave traces though.
