No, allowing public debate regarding a moderator ruling only diverts the
echo and makes moderating the echo a laborious process.

Every which way I turn, one and each side of the issue this echo deals with
says they are being moderated unfairly.

Well let me tell you this, not everyone can get what they want and life is not fair.

There are people now in this echo, whom prior to January 2009, had zero
interest in coming in here, but since that time, their only interest has
been to come in here and stalk and harangue Dan Ceppa and Ross Sauer mostly
dealing with past and present battles and grudges that originated in other
echoes or which occurred long ago in this echo under a DIFFERENT moderator.

Problem is, everyone sees themselves as the victim, including the instigators.
