He has also said that the two moderators in question called Diotima a nazi; Diotima has a copy of the thread in question and says she knows for a fact that this is untrue. He has said that other moderators had contacted him to say he was right, yet all of the other moderators say this is untrue.

I didn't find the word, "nazi," in Badjoe's post here. I found this...

"Moderators #5 (Magnum), I later learned that this was Ms AntiFeminazi and Mod.#9 (Dales) ripped into Diotima, who is Jewish and Mercuria calling them anti semites, etc., This went on for hours."

I recall seeing a poster in the open Forum, whose name I don't remember, accuse dio of posting on or being a member of an anti-Semitic website, about a year and a half ago.

This is also about the time Mercuria stopped posting at FR.

Were accusations of anti-Semitism against diotima and Mercuria ever discussed by any of the Moderators?

The question was whether a claim against me was true, and if so should it stand on the forum.

What was true is that I was registered at a forum where there were unsavory jewish comments made. Can that fact be equivocated with "hanging around in Nazi chat rooms" was the issue up for debate. (No such comments were made by me and I had a small if miniscule presence there when the forum started.)

I wanted it to stand since I found no such equivocation, but rather, it revealed the agenda of a group of people in the forum.

How about this one?
Or the time MAF posted that Diotima (a jewish lady) is a nazi .

You are remembering correctly. And this is what triggered the thread which I posted to the moderator's forum. When that user posted that assertion, I was the only moderator on-board. I also only had a few months under my belt, and was still pretty inexperienced. I made a mistake- I overthought things. I pulled the comment as being a personal attack, and then I thought about if I was going to make a situation worse by giving the impression that Diotima, who is very involved with FRN, had something to hide. So I restored the post, and posted to the other moderators an explanation for my action and a request for feedback on what we should do. I did not call her an anti-semite nor did MAF.
