Generally, this is a good place to post a query to survey the feelings of the FTers who take extra effort to meet and greet each other in various locations around the world. So many forums have split off, that it takes a great deal of time to sift through all of them. By force of habit, many will only look here for items such as this topic.

I agree that sucessful moderation depends on fair and equal treatment of all posters. An open and civil discussion of any issue is the basis of much of our political thought, and ensuring that discussion can take place is the key to a vibrant and mature community.
