Just by way of chucking my own cat in with your collective pigeons...
Whilst I fully appreciate that some moderation is needed at times on the Forum, I do have great concerns that there seems to be a whole plethora of moderators on board with widely differing opinions about what does, or does not, need moderating.
I get the distinct impression that there are one or two moderators who operate on the basis that "I don't like you, so I'm going to delete what you've said." (I think that Stavros may have been a victim of this approach)?
The Forum is internet based, and generally, in that context anything goes, and in my own humble opinion, rightly so, within the bounds of common decency. Let us not forget that the Forum is UK based, and here we pride ourselves on the tenets of free speech.
As Winston Churchill said, "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".
