“Depending on how one interprets...”

You have to have some mighty fine cheesecloth to try and catch that gnat.
I think the old dictum about the 5th amendment's self-incrimination provision applies here: It is a shield, not a sword.
If a thread with a provocative OP is put up in order to prove a bias on the part of the RM, it is entirely legitimate to question the validity of its appeal for Caucus protection.
Like the cowards who launch artillery from behind a shield of women and children, those who seek to use the Caucus designation as cover for attacks on others ought not to be surprised nor consider themselves aggrieved when the designation is removed.
And as for complaining that it is straining at gnats when a wholesale attack is considered a .. wait for it .. wholesale attack, well some always complain when the rules are taken as rules.
Personally I don't think an adopted pose of injured innocence meets any of my needs, nor do I think the pose grants the poseur with any moral claim on me.
