Hmmm, are you sure that you know what a mod's job is?
"They've commented on several of these threads that they are just going to let the debate happen."
Except in some obviously extreme cases, that is the purpose of this site. Mods aren't supposed to do the analysis, the Freepers are.
"I think they are damned if they do, damned if they don't..."
You can take that to the bank. Who would even want to take on that job?
lol.. I hope they are well paid.
In other words 19 spam posts from 300-350 is just fine on FR?
