Ok I'm going to do the 'Oliver Twist here and step forward
I have seen posts removed on threads (not mine) that are mildly offensive yet equally offensive replies to the offensive post, made by known moderators, left up.
I have had a truly innocent remark, made in jest, and it was a very well known quote , removed and me suspended because the moderator did not get the joke.
Many regular 'beloved' posters get away with bullying,nit picking and gross offense. Someone on a thread the other night told me, without any provocation on my part, that if I was their mother they would not want to spend the day with me. This upset me but despite being reported the post was not removed
No poster on here has a means of explanation or redress. The ability to make an apology when you have offended someone, rather than be suspended for an unlimited time. would be a more adult way of dealing with misdemeanors
and finally -yes if you don't like it don't come on AB - if everyone did this there soon would be no AB. Surely better to address issues that come up time and time again than say 'my way or the highway'?
