Can you give us your definition of "good moderation"?

 ST> I only became concerned when Bjorn failed to do any moderation,

You needed to open your eyes. I *know* he was moderating, I received such
messages from him.

The fact is that Björn was elected by a democratic majority because he
moderates in a manner they're comfortable with.

Do you and you terrorist mates wish to overrule that democratic majority? Do
you honestly think that is the right thing to do?

If you don;t like the way the echo is run, why do you want to participate in it
(oh - I just checked, you're not....)

Which racial slurs were those? He used the word nigger in a non-confrontational
way. It was you lot that blew it out of all proportion.

And that of almost everyone not participating in it. Perhaps "character
assassination" would be a better term?

Remember, this is FidoNet, an international hobby, not the USAmerican political
scene....
