I haven't seen anybody say that, so I'm not sure who you are talking about. In any case, what makes you say that that person, whoever they are, would probably be a moderator? And why do you infer that that person believes that everybody who "dares to disagree with his position" is a jerk? Did they say so? Or are you making the same mistake that you are attributing to this person: equating disagreement over ideas with disagreement about appropriate behavior? Ian
