Thanks for weighing in, Rick. For me, the issue is as simple as this -- to be a completely fair moderator, one would have to read every post made to Fairfield Life. But he or she would also have to also be admirable enough that other people -- the moderated -- would trust his/her judgement.

Thanks for posting this, Alex. I'm with Rick on this one. I honestly don't see in present-day FFL the "abuse" or "bullying" that Buck rants about. I see pro-TM posts appear without challenge, and I even see the occasional con-TM posts pass by without challenge. That, to me, speaks of progress.
