Do you monitor Private Messages as well?

I think I understand what we're getting at here, but I see just a tiny few grey areas.
Strong opinions are expected and they are welcome!
Let it be known that this is not an attempt to create an echo chamber. ATS will always value the opinions of all members, but we insist that these opinions are presented tastefully and with respect to our community values in mind. NO members who have 'unpopular' opinions will be subjected to punishment, so long as the T&C is followed.
ATS rules really are easy to distill into a single sentence:
Don't be an asshole.

No, we do not and do not have access as Moderators or Super Moderators.

I happen to be a member of a religious group that is always under attack for everything said.
example...I am against gay marriage,that gets me automatically labeled as a hate filled bigot.
my solution to this is to stop posting on those type of threads.I will stick to safer threads
and keep my opinions to myself.
I think it would depend on HOW you say it. For example "My spiritual beliefs are against Gay marriage" rather than, "God will send these people to hell and it is a choice." I have not read any of your posts in regard to this, but that is an example.

We've allowed a very loud few to obfuscate the goals and spirit of ATS.
That is a very telling statement . It seems to me that certain people are already singled out . If so and I could be wrong . It may serve ATS very well if they were notified through U2U. To be given time to adjust their attitudes while knowing they are on thin ice .
No offense intended. This is just a suggestion to try and cut out some drama .
