To be fair, I don't know that there were many actual acts that are under discussion. For me, the correction of "Danny Boy" to "Mr. Peterson" (as admitted by marg) is the most egregious example of abuse (I believe I said it was stupid, and still think so). The stated intention of providing Uncle Dale with preferential treatment is likewise troubling, whether or not she had multiple opportunities to do so.
But perhaps we should let this die? The problem is not going to present itself again.
skippy,
Whether or not the problem is going to present itself again, remains to be seen. The general characteristics of the complaint against a moderator aren't new. Having said that, your post above highlights my concern about this thread.
More than one poster who replied on this thread, hasn't followed the Book of Mormon Authorship thread or it's splits. How do I know that? Because I've carefully followed it from the day that I opened the thread. I know what was requested in the form of moderation, what requests were granted and which were denied. Why? Because I made the requests myself and most of the requests were posted publicly.
Ray has posted multiple falsehoods on this thread. When his false statements were challenged, he ignored and failed to address any challenges and instead, continued to go onto something else, even when documentation was presented to him. This is someone who chose to challenge the integrity of one or more posters and who failed to address his own false statements.
Some of the posters who replied here, did so after reading the thread title or latched on to a recent comment and passed judgement (if you will) without bothering to inform themselves. It's painfully clear that there are persons on this thread who didn't care about what was true and chose to use the thread to spite marg on account of their interactions with her on this board during discussion/debate.
I understand why marg would choose to cease moderating however, the issue of concern for me is how readily posters on this board so willingly ignore truth in favor of spite, their attempts to disparage another person with Ray being the glaring and prime example of that.
If removing the phrase "Danny Boy" from a post is deemed "egregious", then I'd like to know what bearing that has on the totality of one persons moderator actions overall and is that reason enough to accuse someone of overall bias? The removal of two words is "egregious"?
This entire thread is an example of bias and spite.
I know every single moderator action that marg took on the Book of Mormon Authorship thread. I know them because in most cases, I requested them. I also know of at least one case where I publically declined an offer by harmony to split off comments.
Ray has yet to identify any moderator action made by marg on the Book of Mormon Authorship thread that isn't in keeping with the board rules. Why? Because he isn't informed.
What you have on this thread is a person who is strongly biased agains marg herself, leveling accusations of bias without demonstrating bias, making repeated false statements without correcting them when they are demonstrated, essentially blowing smoke while others willingly inhale it.
