I had the temerity to ask at the beginning of the BODA stuff something along the lines of, how are we to understand this? It really wasn't inflammatory at all. My account went poof within minutes. This after I had been told how the new mod was a great guy.

Peter:

I will vouch the moderator is a good guy, we've known each other for at least a decade and I finally met him at either the 2017 or 2018 NSCC.

However, being a good guy and having to follow corporate dictates are two very different things. Let's say his boss said your account has to go for that post, then he has no real option but to poof your account

While obviously not remotely equivalent to the defense raised at Nuremberg, I am not sure I always buy the "my boss made me do it" rationale for doing something one doesn't believe is right. In any event, I would be surprised if the decision was made at a higher level, it was almost instant.

Peter:

That comment is beneath you, this is baseball cards not something more serious. FYI my wife is the daughter of a survivor so I take all those references very seriously

Obviously I was not suggesting an equivalence in terms of seriousness, Rich. But I will edit it so as not to offend.

I have to agree you can't blame someone who's paid to be a chat board moderator for doing his job. I'm sure he is told what posts to remove, and under what circumstances to ban a user. Is he supposed to have some moral objection to banning those that violate the rules? I would think not.
