Ok, I will take the bait

Ханночка, I agree with 90% of what you've just said. If you are responding to my comments in this thread, however, it's addressing something completely different than what I brought up. I have only said that it's hard to imagine a person that posts views anti 50% of the world becomes a moderator. To your point, it would likewise be a surprise if someone constantly bashed Russia (or insert country here) and became a moderator.

I also support the general freedom to be able to express views on this site for ordinary members, it's one way we learn not only about different views, but how express them effectively and have others accept our opinion.
