We have moderators who use ignore lists, and thus don't moderate efficiently or effectively, and clearly lack the unbiased, separate nature a moderator is required to have.

Hence damage is done, and will continue to be done.

I struggle to see the difference, especially when one is clearly intentional.

Please not as well: there is no suggestion here that the moderators are inefficient (so no grounds to get me into trouble) but rather my realistic perception that such a lack of objectiveness and fairness will always reap poor results.

-Thank you.
Two thoughts:

1) Whatever his intent, it is the result that matters.

2) "I didn't know the gun was loaded" is not a viable defense.

He got what he deserved, even if he didn't think about the consequences of his actions.

It might have been a good joke, at some other time. But yesterday was not that time.
