I enjoy the good nature, good humor and the great information that many people leave on this site. This is the only site I visit that makes me laugh on a regular basis . . . and every now and then, I really appreciate that

I don't dislike moderation, I dislike the need for it. I too hate to see posts deleted (although it sounds like the post in contention will return in some form). Sometimes I wish the rotten posts were left up so all could see how badly someone had behaved . . . it would be easier to give their future posts proper credit. But I've been to sites like that, and after a while, it wears on me and I stop participating in a forum that is more irritating and less fun.

Being a moderator is no doubt a difficult job. The standard for *their* behavior when they participate is higher, and that limits what they can say as well as their range of expression. From what I've seen over the last several months, the moderators here seem to be pretty relaxed. They're passionate about some topics, but that is a reflection of their humanity: They're not automatons.

Thanks for doing a thankless job that most everyone will tell you you're doing wrong. I like visiting this site, no doubt because of your work.
