The moderators are not a single being, nor do they share the same view on many situations. We do not comment on arguments, but on civility, adult and advanced behaviors befitting this forum, as well as enforcing the rules. If any feel the rules have been infringed you have to push the 'report' triangle at the bottom of the post to notify a moderator [many of us ignore many of these 'food fight JFK threads', so will NOT have read what has been written. Any such report will be investigated...but be aware that crying 'Wolf' repeatedly will also be considered an infraction - although a few times will not be. As one can see Doyle, I believe Brian Doyle, can and always could have posted but chose not to, rather to complain and cause disruption on the forum and among moderators - even getting his friends to post for him, rather than post for himself. There is a difference between disagreeing with someone on a subject and not being able to convince them of your point of view and trashing them personally/ attacking them personally. Please keep it civil. I can only speak for myself, but I have no favorites among posters and researchers. I, like all others have points of view / analyses of the facts I believe over others - but I try to not let that effect my moderation. Other moderators will have to speak for themselves. We here at TDPF also do not like that this feud is taking/has taken place on multiple forums - cross posting on other/multiple forums is not considered 'kosher' for several reasons. Keep it on one forum and keep it civil. I find it telling that Doyle chose only to post a testing post without substance. Increasingly, I feel much of this and related threads are designed by some to sow general disruption and the naming of specific names is only a ruse. Trust me, the range of personal viewpoints of the moderators is large, but again we do not moderate based on how close or far from our own views on issues the posts or threads are. Gratuitous attacks on moderators are no less agreggious than attacks on regular posters, so please keep that in mind.
