Hello AB.
On 02:26 Sun 10th Mar 2019, I posted the following question to the Editor's Blog:
“Why Do You Shut Down Active Threads?”
I then went on to explain why a thread involving me and a false allegation about me had been locked down, preventing any further debate. I received no reply.
Now, a week or so later, I return to see if the AB editors had anything to say on the matter. And lo and behold, the entire exchange on the Editor's Blog has been eviscerated from the site. It's as though my question was never asked. The original question thrown down Winston Smith's “Memory Hole” in true 1984 totalitarian fashion.
Nice one AB. Nice one. Censoring legitimate debate about the matter of legitimate debate. You must be so proud. I hope you sleep well at night in your beds, safe in the knowledge that you are the true custodians of morality and righteousness and that all opinions that differ from your own are illegitimate and morally deficient.
You censorious ***-wits. I don't normally swear on forums such as this but seeing as this post will likely be immediately deleted because of the criticism of AB rather than the profanity, I simply don't care anymore.
It seems that being a Moderator on this site is a poisoned chalice and a thankless task; someone is always going to have their nose pushed out of joint.

That’s an oft-trumpeted fallacy. In my experience most of the known mods aren’t criticised at all …. probably because they do a good job and don’t warrant criticism.
High V - e
first some AB cyber bitching:
some has referred to Andie Hughes on this thread ! has he contributed or is he mentioned here W/O a contribution ?
O my god there will be some squawking and noises off if the latter is the case - weird I know.
Hi v-e ( there ! over now!)
you have written ECHR [ read the next bit in a singy voice)
that is ECHR and not ee-cee-jaaaaaay!
they different !
and guess what the effect of Brexit has on our membership of the ECHR ?
None
it depends on the 1952 treaty which is not affected ( declaration of Human rights )
we have had this before you know ...
in which you feature
er gaily ( in the pre 2nd world war sense I stress) confusing completely the ECJ and ECHR
I don't have a list of mods, jackthehat, but I don't doubt you do. I'm just aware that a few posters are mods because they've said they are. I've never 'accused' anyone of being a mod either. Not the sort of terminology I'd use anyway. 'Accused'? Hmmm ... not nice.
Chris (Buenchico), Andy-Hughes and Boo I know are comfortable being identified. I know a few other but I'm not sure how pleased they'd be being outed, so those three for sure Sanmac.
