Do moderators ever admit mistakes (e.g. undo bans made after misinterpreting someone's post) around here?
Censors gonna censor. I came here to discuss topics of import that were vital to my interests, often in a humorous way, and to learn from people - even people with whom I disagree - and there are plenty of people here with whom I disagree and who vehemently disagree with me. However, my fundamental philosophy of open minds and open markets is obviously not welcome and thus neither am I - nor would it seem is anyone else who champions either. "I swear that by my life and my love of it, I will never live for the sake of another man - nor ask another man to live for the sake of mine." Not that anyone cares, but just as general information, I am going Galt, to return only if the moderation here regains a semblance of balance and fairness to it. If that means tomorrow, excellent. If that means never, so be it.
Good luck to those who feel like figuring out how to abide within the 'rules'. Godspeed to all who deserve good tidings.

Are you pointing out how common it is for people to be leaving these days, or are you trying to play it down? If I left, I'd certainly leave a message. Probably not a new thread, but a message in some thread.
People leaving because of inconsistent or disagreeable moderator actions should have a light shone on it, rather than passed off as "just another one".
Otherwise, when will moderators realize their inconsistent and disagreeable actions have repercussions and consequences?
A few leave here and there, INGO won't give a crap.
More and more leave, they might start to think "Hey, maybe we're the problem."
I'm going to go with mocking condescension.

Jetgirl is banned until 10/24 Then I'm out until 10/24 too. I was in a situation once where I was invited to a meeting only to have someone throw a fit and tell me (and my wife and baby) to leave. I expected the people I considered "friends" who were the other ones present during the meeting to stand with me and instead they watched me leave and continued on. That's not happening here Jetgirl.
