I know. Rod and I just discussed it, and he explained to me why the thread needed to be moderated (and he was one of the people who had to be moderated, too!). But personally I still don't agree 100% that it needed to be moderated, even though it has been explained to me nicely again.
BUT yes, I too have a great deal of respect for Drum, and I appreciate all he does for ADF. And I understand it was a judgement call on his part. But disagreeing with a decision is not an insult, IMO. I still can't believe that a thread was shut down on Leadership. That's like the Speaker of the House going into Congress and saying, "OK guys, that's enough disagreeing. Y'all can't debate this topic anymore. People's feelings are getting hurt." (I don't know, I slept through government class, I certainly hope that doesn't actually happen in real life!).
I still think the topic would have eventually run its course or gotten resolved on its own. Just my opinion. And that is probably why I'm not a list mod. I guess it would be a bloodbath out there if I were in charge:)
