[PLUG-TALK] The PLUG moderator...

[plug_0 at robinson-west.com]

Is he just easily perturbed or what?

He's accused me of being a troublemaker.

Well, trouble threads usually require,
gasp, participation from other people.
I never made the recent Jerry Springer
comments, etc., but someone felt they
just had to.  That's not my fault.  If
people want to publicly post profanities
in response to something I post on plug,
how am I supposed to stop them?

Why doesn't the moderator block profanities
posted with the intent to anger and the
potential to trigger flame threads?  

What standard of accountability is the
moderator of plug held to?

Considering that there are no etiquette
tests that must be passed prior to 
getting on plug, where does the 
moderator get off calling anyone 
an agitator?

Maybe there should be a plug netiquette
test.  Maybe also the moderator should
be more diplomatic and more willing to
discourage attack posts.

Is the moderator elected?  Is there more
than one?  Maybe there should be a 
conflict resolution team.
