Dude, unless George W Bush becomes a member of FT, he is just a public figure. We the mods, are not public figures, but members of this community.

It is not the same thing

I might the only "conservative" member of the mods, but just because someone doesn't agree with my public views, doesn't mean that he doesn't have the right to express his opinion.

Where we draw the line is when people get out of hand and start calling people names, liberal, conservative or indifferent.

So, there you go, there is a difference, and we deserve the same respect as any other member of FT, and contrary to some people's opinions, we try to do the same
