Ever been to a store that has huge lines and the people get grumpy?
If the cashiers decide they don't feel like dealing with the extra work, it doesn't matter how many people are in line- if they close their registers, nothing you can do about it.
On the other hand, if that happens enough times, suddenly the lines aren't as long. Workers get a lighter load, but the organization suffers. Also nothing you can do about it.
Is your post correct? Incorrect? Very detailed? It's easier to wipe out than deal with it? Not your call, nothing you can do about it.
See the theme here? Or not? Either way, nothing you can do about it.
The "whim" that matters is not yours, or mine, or... LOL.
On MANY sites, mods are respectful of members and make an effort to resolve or notify members if something is awry. Or edit a (long/detailed) post to remove certain comments. Not all do.
Still nothing you can do about it ;)
True.
I just tried to come up with a deep and meaningful statement regarding our constitution and the first amendment, but I deleted that attempt, because I knew it would be removed ........
Like you say "Nothing we can do about it".
One might note that the First Amendment:
- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
has nothing to say about the actions of moderators on this forum.
The moderators are a great group of men and women who have devoted much of their time to a thankless task.
