Get Yer Ya-Yas Out [FR Moderating Gripe Thread]

[history]
LM here.
It's been a while since we had a thread along these lines.
I can tell from comments I am seeing in threads, on abuse reports, and in Freepmail that some people are unhappy with various policies and their implementations by the staff here.
I've seen allegations that certain factions are picked on. I've seen allegations that the moderators have killed activism. I've heard rumors that we killed Kenny, and even that we killed the radio star. I see certain personality conflicts acting up, and know that one (or both) sides in it feel that we aren't doing what we should.
So let's open this can of worms.
This thread is for making your grievances heard. If you think something stinks or is wrong, make your case here. Back it up with facts. Let the audience at large weigh in on your evidence.
I'll read the thread. Jim will too in all likelihood. So will the other moderators. Depending upon how well you make your point, and depending on if you can convince Jim, me, the other moderators, and/or the world, maybe you can change things. And if you don't, then it might make you feel better to have vented, so it won't make this thread a total loss.
I'm not going to reply to this thread for quite a while. Rather, I am going to sit back and watch to try and get a feel for the general tenor. I encourage those who are both happy and unhappy with things to particpate in this thread.
Let's rock.

You can tell a great deal about a person by their "enemies"... If I didn't already know and admire nopardons, I would simply because of the poisonous behavior of the people slamming her.
I'm gonna slam the whole lot of you until you squeal with pleasure and admit that I'm your daddy, you dried up old biddies.

Since you have long ago avoided the original statement I made about you, I will now allow you to slip away. The point has been made and you have been convicted. Toodles!

This is a trick to get me out in the open so you can sic one of those viking kitties on me. I'm telling you now it won't work. And no I'm not paranoid. ;-)

I'm a great one for posting facts. I can debate. That's what drives those other people nuts.

Quix, you are uniquely Quix. No other way to put it.
You and I have not always agreed, we can both be stubborn.
But your Christian kindness always shines through.
God bless you.

Please do,kind sir. I can use ALL the help I can get. :-)
To: HairOfTheDog
"At least leaving the placeholder "removed by moderator" posts viewable in their history would help people who argue that someone was banned 'unfairly'. If all the really bad bannable posts are gone, what is left always looks innocuous. "All he said was "good morning!""
Exactly

I mean a pack of regulars who operate in concert. These aren’t people who are interested in debate, they’re interested in squelching debate. You mean the immigration pack or the outsourcing pack or the libertarian pack or the constitution paty pack or the 2nd amendment pack"

In all seriousness, Mo, those people are sick. Pay no attention to them.
