I think Neal should fire the lot and replace them with people who can manage to keep their personal feelings separate from their job. Then you might see an improvement here but until then it's just going to get worse.

i would agree with this statement... though not all of them are guilty of it.

I agree that they set the tone, on the one hand you cant just expect them to roll over and take a lashing by the membership... on the other hand one expects that they would act with a certain degree of neutrality

not "Oh look its you with your normal BS" type comments

even if true, even if undeniable, i think its not really a Moderators place.
