Uh, no. In all the time that I've been on the TFP, from "Rookie" on up, I have
never seen this to be the case. Sixate and I, for example, have gone round and round on several issues. Not only am I still here, I'm now a Moderator myself, with his blessings, I might add. Plus, if your statement
were true, the politics board would be a damn lonely place for me. I can think of three people, right off the top of my head, that I know I'm going to get wound up over, everytime I read one of thier posts. But, and this is the big but, they are
always respectfull. Both when crafting thier own opinions, or responding to one of my own.

Then I see a post with an opinion about somebody that could be negative. Then that person is gone.

When I go in and edit a post, or move a post to more suitable location, or completely from "public" view...it is a judgement call. There have been numerous instances when I have found a comment to be
very borderline. In these cases, I usually choose to error on the side of caution, and leave it alone and monitor the hell out of it. Other times I will defer to those with more experience. In either case, I do not, nor does any other Mod, that I know of, go through on a slash and burn mission.
