LOL.  I try.  


Not much to moderate when everyone for the most part if a pretty good guy/gal.  GON is a different bunch for the most part.  There are a few good guys over there though.  Sorry they kicked Adam to the curb.  I got a warning once for calling a guy who was being hypocritical a hypocrite.  I was told I could call his view hypocritical but I could not call him a hypocrite or that was a personal attack.

Most groups become self moderating to a certain extent, the only question is are the anal people happy with that level. Here 99% are, there they have a core group who has to micromanage. Although the "you talk to educated" posts threw me for a

Ok... sure, but a mod? Populist appeal is one thing but doing it by saying the populists are dumb didn't seem a good strategy on my side. He said himself and others couldn't understand it. I think that would alienate the audience more then pull them in.

That suprised me too.  You weren't talking "lawyer-speak" you were just having a discussion that any grown adult (or kid in middle or high school) should have been able to follow.  

I personally wouldn't want to be a part of any group that thinks making some sort of sense and using words that possibly may contain more than one syllable is a thing to be ridiculed.
