You don't have to argue as much openly when you can delete posts, close threads or just remove entire threads.
Yes, this thread is still open, but there are dozens of others that were closed. What facts do they show you? Would you feel differently if one of your threads was removed from the forum altogether even after you had carefully gone through EVERY single rule & guideline to ensure none were broken? Maybe not.

I am sorry some want to make this "for and against the moderator" -- not my intention! But I do think it is good to voice your opinions, even if they are not my own and even if I think you might be missing my point. Not a problem.

Whether it was your intention or not, YOU made this discussion what it is. You put in a low blow against Ann in attempt to discredit her, because she has a different opinion than you on this subject. That's something I wouldn't have expected from you, Debra.

I've seen Ann post many times in heated threads where she's also had to delete posts in her position of moderator. You never protested then, never accused her of being unethical. Why? What is different now? The topic of discussion? Maybe the difference in viewpoints?

I sincerely doubt that I'm missing your point. It was well hidden in your lengthy post, but believe me - I got the point. Many of us have.

If you have issues with Ann's right to speak as an individual and with her duties as a moderator, perhaps you should suggest that admin consider bringing in more moderators - because right now, Ann is doing it all alone.
