We can agree to disagree when it comes to politics. And I let StreetRunner know that just because a particular post or thread offends me doesn't mean that I want some knight-in-newbie-armor running in to save the day. I, for one, know whow to close a web browser if I see something I don't like... I know moderators are human, I just know humans can do better than they do. It's no excuse to be human, it's a responsibility.
Anyway, my rant is over. I hope some of the moderators can learn from this and be a little bit more wise. Doesn't sound like it, though.
P.S.
Main Entry: fas·cism

Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it.
