Is there any moderation here, or is this a right wing shit hole? Who are the admins?

by the way, most of the mods are liberal/democrat.

I think you berate yourself a bit by calling it permission. "Thank you for giving me your blessing to delete the debate" Would be more appropriate and better signify your authority a bit. I know it's a bit pedantic but I think both phrases come across entirely different.

Blessing is too religious. Agnostic here.

If blessing is off the table, maybe "permission" was the only way to go.

I love you so much right now

First with Forum Rankings and now banning toxic people from the site.

I am not required to support the GOP when they are against my rights specifically.

I would ask you to debate that, but you would probably accept it accuse me of racism against dogs and have the debate removed.

Very cute. My friends owns a Vishla. They have such cute tails and faces. They are also great hunting and are easily trainable dogs

perchance, do you have Bipolar I? If they're unwittingly making you relive a trauma you should be a bit more clear about what you want others to do, otherwise you won't find co-operation.

They don't and the debate should have been deleted anyway regardless of either user's consent.

But the mod team here has opted to voluntarily neuter itself as their style of moderation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No where really. It's Hallow's Eve I may do readings here tonight. If I do it will be in the religion forum. I hate to not do any.

As opposed to being high-handed?

It's a no-win.... you can please some of the people all of the time.. etc.

Yes, absolutely. The rules as written should be enforced as written without regards to how people feel about them. Individual discretion should be kept at a minimum.

If the rules are unacceptable, then they should change, certainly, but whatever the rules are, those should be the rules that are enforced. If were not going to enforce the rules, why have them?

It's a no-win.... you can please some of the people all of the time.. etc.
Exactly! And there are only two things you can do in that scenario:

1. Focus on a subset of the people whose opinions you care about and focus only on pleasing them.
2. Don't focus on pleasing anyone.

Clearly in the context of moderation of a website #2 is the only acceptable option.
