Can I just say? Not only am I left leaning, I'm an actual mod. I consider myself close friends with some of the mods, and at least casual friends with all of them. I also make some effort to stay within the rules. Yet I've had mods ask me to edit my posts on a number of occasions.
When that happens, I've always just complied. My posted words are not precious nuggets of gold, much as I'd sometimes like to think so,
and it's not that big a deal to change them to avoid hurt feelings or additional conflict.
This is not something that only happens to some specific group of people. It's not based on politics, viewpoints, or personal likes and dislikes. It's about volunteer people doing their best to keep posts civil so that we can function as a community.
