Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.
Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.
I think the bigger picture is the notion that there are a good number here that actually considered resister a good poster, but in the same breath have the audacity to call others a troll. That is the disconnect that plagues this forum and will continue because those that don't like differences in ideology clouds their judgement and impartiality.

IMHO, it was a tit-for-tat decision. Had to take out a member from each faction to appear even-handed.

Exactly. The expectation has always been that the mods when moderating remain neutral politically. Somehow that has become neutrality more generally such that it's no longer the case that they figure out who started a fight and who is reacting defensively and moderate the former more heavily than the latter. Bethere was a lousy troll and resister reacted and both got banned---I'm sure there's more to it, more trolls and more reactions, but that's the impression I get.

It's been suggested in Town Halls that mods ease off their team moderation policy and allow a single mod to at least step in and issue warnings that can later be reviewed by the team and adjusted as needed. Never heard back on that suggestion.
On the call out, well, they're not members now and it was announced at least one was a troll.

Agree. But there are those who see personal pugilistics as the purpose of a forum and who just cannot distinguish post from poster. Not sure if moderation should be completely neutral about that. In the end though all you can do is try to contribute to discussion and change yourself if you're not.
