Indeed. I saw the post before it was edited too, and I distinctly remember it being "fool."

Pan: ratbastid has it right when he points out mods are entitled to opinions as well. I can't help but notice the striking similarity though: a judge chooses to express a private opinion to a select group of people after rendering a verdict and you see it as inappropriate and prejudiced; some mods express opinions which are somewhat heated but refrain from using their position as mod in any way, yet you take particular issue that mods are expressing these opinions. I'm not sure what to take from the similarity, I just thought it was worth noting.

There are nearly 30 mods on the site (with varying levels of activity), with political and social views ranging from conservative to liberal. If you don't like something about what the 4 mods in this thread have said, or how they have or have not moderated something someone else said, you can pick from 25 other mods to message and ask for an uninvolved opinion. Or you could message all of them. I honestly don't really care which, and I encourage you to do it. We're all human, and we all make mistakes, etc etc etc, but if you don't bring what you view as a mistake to the attention of one of the mods who isn't already involved here, then nothing is ever going to happen.

To be perfectly frank, if this had been your first thread of this type, I would have done something about a number of the posts in here. But after a month of typing to a wall, I can't blame anyone for the occasional outburst, and I don't think it appropriate to warn someone for getting frustrated in entirely understandable circumstances (and I let things slide all the time all over the site for this reason, it has nothing to do with the fact I happen to be somewhat involved in these threads).
