Re. Dezzy. I'm puzzled why you think he is being intolerant in his posts. I think he disagreed with Brillo quite politely.
Is this beef with him because of the combination of things like him being opinionated AND being a mod? I.e. would you also object if he posted as he does but stopped being a mod? Or stayed a mod but stopped posting?
Imagine how hard it must be to be both, I'm sure he doesn't enjoy being disliked by some. But otoh, why should he stop either?
This is off-topic and maybe we should talk about it in pms. But I promise I'm not going to get emotional about it like I did in the past and I won't call you a rightwing clique anymore. It's just I like this forum and the caliber of people on here and wish this beef would go away. Is it possible?

THere is a valid reason why he is disliked by some and it has nothing to do with being opinionated and a mod. There are other mods who are also both of those things - so with respect you really shouldn’t pass comment on something you are clearly not aware of!
