 I did not say or imply this. Obviously I will not be moderating rgcc or
anything else.. I implied any related problems from CCC which spilled over and
if they were brought to my attention that as a result made the life of a CCC
member here so difficult he could not participate in these boards. Another
example would be where as a result a post here, that member was harrassed
repeatedly in email, and as a result he/she complained to me. Obviously the
moderator (in my view) has to do something about this.

 So, while a moderator would ideally like only to focus on CCC and nothing else,
in practice this will not be so, and there will always be exceptional cases.

 A moderator by necessity has to keep all options open, and not be forced to
admit to some narrow viewpoints. At least that's how I feel.

 How does saying being understanding and not a hot head rule out objectivism and
 fairness?

Making baseless and provocative assumptions and reasoning is not an intelligent
way to communicate.

 Well, then please do not smile while making ludicrous statements.
