SO doesn't necessarily have an active hand in every banning does he? I understand that moderators are actively trying to minimize the blowback from MM's banning, but unfortunately it doesn't necessarily come from reliable sources at this point.
Nothing against anyone specifically, but the role of a moderator is to keep the peace, by any means necessary. does that mean downplaying injustices?
Mod's do need to keep a united front on this sort of thing right?

I can see what she posted, and see that in my opinion none of it deserved a banning.

By reliable sources I mean just that. I can't be sure of what a moderator's intentions actually are when posting. Sometimes the line between personal opinion and board regulations blur.
It's part of being in a position of authority.
And you're right, I'm not in possession of all the facts. I can only go by what I've read. And I can go back through all of MM's recent posts and find nothing but steady, intelligent debate from the point of view of an atheist. I can see what she posted, and see that in my opinion none of it deserved a banning.
And your statement about putting the board before yourself just reinforces my point. Sometimes a mod has to say what they have to say to keep the members from acting up. If that means saying that there was more to it than her what we're allowed to know, then there we have it.

Wrong. I guess you don't get it yet.

Trust me, that will be closed faster than you can say "Sweet Zombie Jesus."
