As I read this thread, what I see is you making loud complaints but 
failing to follow up with examples when invited. 

Are you posting just for a moan or do you intend to make some
constructive criticism?

Apart from one recently appointed moderator (who never uses 1 word when 
6 will do;) ) generally the remaining moderators use their positions to 
make snide , off topic, political remarks in a legal newsgroup

But you don't need to be a moderator to do that in ulm! It is not against the
moderation policy.

  Indeed it was only a couple of years ago that Jeremy Corbyn was being
regularly accused in ulm of being a traitor to the UK,  a supporter of
terrorists and an anti-semite. Much worse than is currently being said about
any current Tory. 

But somehow that didn't worry you; becuse you supported that particular bit of
lying propaganda perhaps?


I believe your protestss are totally hypocritical and designed to score
party-political points. I am unsurprised, but sad, to see that Tories also see
it as important to support Keith Starmer. One would almost think he was one of
them.

It SHOULD be a policy that moderators of a moderated group confine 
themselves to dealing with issues related directly to the objectives of 
the group (in this case legal issues). The moderators should also deal 
with snide , off topic, political remarks made by other posters. That 
surely is the role of a moderator

2 years ago from memory I no longer subscribed to that group (and last 
year, being in hospital for over 2 months, I was off usenet for a long 
time.) But no, and I won't give my opinion on Corbyn who I once knew, 
comments about him, unless relevant in a legal newsgroup, should not be 
posted there.

You are welcome to request a discussion of the setting up of such a newsgroup,
but that doesn't happen to be the written policy of ULM, which the electorate
supported x years ago.

I apologise if you were not one of the mob of like-minded people who supported
the media campaign against Corbyn. But many who did are now complaining about
the Todal and Jon Ribbens saying unkind things about the Tories. (By the way,
I really wish I was in a position to claim to have "carelessly" "forgotten" to
pay a million pounds of tax.)

Who knows? He sounds like a Keith and has more in common with Ramsay Macdonald
than Keir Hardie!

Thank you for your condescending response that I'm welcome to request a 
discussion

If you don't understand responsibilities of those given authority to act 
as a moderator you probably don't understand the responsibilities of

I refuse to be drawn into a political discussion on this group about 
what you call the "media campaign against Corbyn" Though from that 
remark of yours I conclude you support Corbyn's views for which he has 
lost the Labour whip

Perhaps you should research the responsibilities of the "moderator" role 
of those who are moderators. Being a moderator does not preclude one 
from having or posting personal opinions, and having or posting personal 
opinions in no way prevents a person from fulfilling the position of 
moderator.

The difference between your response and something Norman might write is 
that he would provide examples.

On the other hand, you moan but when asked to explain your concerns you 
declare it's a trap. You sound paranoid.

Do try harder.

The complaint was: "highly offensive remarks"  and "they act with 
impunity, posting stuff they wouldn't accept from non Guardian readers"

Remarks that might offend a Tory MP don't count. What exactly has 
offended you, personally?  Or offended a fellow contributor?

Can you explain how the moderators check whether each contributor reads 
the Guardian?

Or was the complaint a petulant whinge without any basis in reality?

Well that would go over well in court: "Ladies and gentlemen of the
jury, it's obvious the defendant has broken the law. Any of you who
don't know which one don't deserve to be on the jury. The prosecution
rests."

I wondered if that might be attributable to Cocklecarrot, obviously well 
before he became Master of the Rolls, but perhaps taken into account for 
his appointment?

Ok, now cite any moderation policy that any of the above posts
contravenes.

> Incidentally, Jon also falsely denied that he had been the first to 
> bring up Hitler in the thread,

No I didn't. You've added the words "in the thread". You falsely
implied that I had something similar to "The Tories Are All Evil
Mass Murderers Just Like Adolf Hitler", and apart from the word
"evil", your claim, like nearly everything you say, was false.

I did say that. Because it's true.

I rejected it because it was repetitive.

Ok, now point to any part of that post which compares anyone to Hitler.

You've been whingeing about the moderation under this pseudonym for
nearly three years now, and you've never yet managed to have an actual
point. It's sad really.

Those seem entirely reasonable and accurate statements.

Exactly.
They abuse their position as moderators making remarks they would not 
accept from "common" posters

Alas, there is politically incontinent argument in all too many
newsgroups.  One might hope that at least a moderated group 
could be free of such evangelistic agendas.   I suppose that for 
some people, dogma is inseparable from balanced discussions 
in pursuit of truth  (whose truth?...)  
  
It's indicative of bankrupt thought.

What precisely is "bankrupt" thought?  And is the belief that there is one
truth which can only be reached by English-speaking intellectuals calmly
discussing the matter in a politically neutral way itself a a bankrupt
thought?  Please discuss in a balanced way.
