Howdy,
I don't speak for Randy.
I don't speak for Flyertalk in any way, shape or form.
But - it's my not so humble opionon that this (Flyertalk and all it contains) is not a public space, but a private one.
We are a community of practice, by and large the majority of us (I think) are very, very happy with what moderation does occur here.
We do not want the wild west, we want some form of order and as large as we are - this does require some form of a policing action, hence - moderators.
Three cheers for those sorry folks - (looks to me like a rough job with little thanks).
Just my two cents.
Keep the faith,
Pakse
