In my job I have attended over 500 conferences with Moderators. Usually they are people of eminence, accepted by their peers as eaqual or superior, moderate in their view points, moderate with great care and perspicacity and never hurt the participants feelings.
I do expect the same from Flyertalk moderators, otherwise I feel it is waste of my time to post anything.</font>
You answer your own question.
If you don't care for the ground rules (that is, the moderators) of this electronic conference, you should exercise your option not to participate. You can either find another conference better suited to your needs, or you can organize and run your own.
I would assume that if I organized a non-electronic conference and you either didn't care for the speakers or the format, you would simply choose not to attend. I'd be surprised if you showed up and disrupted the conference, complaining that it didn't suit you.
So it's unsettling that you choose to continue to disrupt this electronic conference with your complaints. This conference is not a government-given right; your
de facto usufruct to participate in this conference does not include the right to disrupt. Accept the rules or elect not to participate.
