You haven't read my introduction carefully but that may be because you aren't interested in understanding what I said. Perhaps you would like to try to address what I said with a different perspective.  

I have a thick skin too and I can live with moderating which allows personal insults. I would prefer to have moderators who do their job and watch carefully what's happening on their forum. Actually I don't usually respond in kind but rather prefer to escalate the abuse which should get a moderator's attention if he/she is sitting on his/her hands. Unfortunately moderators are only human and will usually be highly biased toward their own political affiliation. This is why we need to be able to establish a set of rules which are applied equally. When I invest time on a forum I don't like it to have my participation interrupted prematurely and so if I'm handed a suspension then I know that is the beginning of a concerted effort. It's simply a fact that moderators are biased as you will never hear from the ones who are in political agreement with your own views.     

IMO it is entirely up to Walter how he runs his site and it's up to me to judge whether or not the site is worthy of my participation.

I'm Canadian and living in B.C. If you prove to be worthy of my time then we will talk again on this board.
