Well, most of the /. moderators (if not all of them) are male. I was a
moderator but before I ever looked at the rules (that said "don't say
you're a moderator"), I said "so what is this moderator stuff?" (more or
less) on a mailing list and Rob Malda yanked my status as a moderator.
Several people have given him shit about it and he says he feels badly,
but it's no wonder that comments like "big honkin' penis" get moderated up
if there's no female moderators (anymore). Just a point.
Y'all can give Rob shit now if you like.
