I agree, grown men bitching at each other is pointless. However, none of the posts I made were empty bitching. I personally was attempting originally to discuss our right to make pricing observations. All comments about Quinlan's moderation I made were only in response to actions he took.
I've never seen a price discussion moved to the spam forum before and actually I've rarely seen (successful) forums where the moderators are so aggressive to other users, making direct and indirect attacks on them.
I think ideal moderators are the ones with no strong opinions, since strong opinions make them conflicted in the role as mods. If I was a mod, you would rarely see me post an opinion, since disassociation is key to impartiality and impartiality is key to fairness. Mind you, the fact I would feel obliged not to give my opinion is exactly why I'd never wanna be a mod ]Subject!

Point taken, Banana, but it's not that I am deliberately derailing a topic. Sometimes discussions lead into other discussions. I'm pretty sure the originator of this thread (Erce) would not object to us making our points about the difficulties we're encountering with moderators.
