It is. YOU are the "moderator".

Instead of keeping discussion polite, as a moderator is supposed to do:

* You block members writing calm emails.
* You moderate members for opinions and block opinion you do not like
or Joy does not like.
* You fail to moderate people for rude and uncouth behavior (eg Joy)
* You harass members privately demanding they answer posts on the list
* You tell members off list what words to use in the replies and what
questions to answer.
* You demand those things are done before sending other list post.
* You harass members privately demanding they publish their work on
the list
* You break the law sending copyright private emails to the list.

And those are just the ones I know about first hand!

You call that moderation?
Colleagues?
I do not think so. That list applies to you.
Moderating my posts has been to censor my views not because of heated
words.
LACK of moderating Joy (whom you keep telling me to respond to among
others) proves that rudeness is of no concern to you as a moderator.
(One can see in the headers who is moderated. I'll be surprised if
this gets to the list a my posts are blocked, but I hope it does.
Ideally it should also go to the list OWNER who may want a moderator
more interested in moderation of bad behavior than opinion censorship
and off list harassment.)
Yes.
You can request it only; you don't have a right to it. And the
request is needed ON list.
Nobody needs to respond if they do not wish to do so.

Namaste,
Irene

PS Since Soroush is censoring my views, I copy them to the person to
whom I am responding as well as to the list - so nothing goes where
any author did not intend.
