“You do not have access to the information to know who was banned, who was suspended and for how long...”

This is partially correct. There is the bulk of the evidence available though - and it does evidence my claim. There are many more public warnings and rebukes than suspensions.

“In short, you simply do not have the information to evidence your complaint.”

All of the evidence is not available. But what does exist, I would posit the bulk of it, verifies the claim that there is a disproportionate number of rebukes to one side.

Another quantifiable subset of the public rebukes are cases where there are two people involved and both are borderline on violating the rules. In an almost unbelievalbe skewing of balance, Catholics are rebuked, which is followed with the customary, “...if one party has been warned, consider... the other party to be warned as well...”

I guess you’re right it’s just cooincidence that it is nearly always the Catholic that is rebuked. Cmon. Fairness is all that is requested. There are others who feel the same way, they just don’t want to go public.

Again, all you can see from "in forum" are the warnings - not the punishments. If you saw the entire record you might complain that group A is given more warnings whereas group B is given more bannings and group C is given more suspensions.

But the truth of the matter is that I don't even look at the poster's confession in deciding what to do. The news itself sometimes wags the dog - e.g. when Romney or the FLDS are in the news, the LDS/anti-LDS/ex-LDS are in the spotlight and get more mod attention.
