Quite. It's an attitude which is all too common around here. Anyone who doesn't think that the "moderators" in the wonderful new "moderated" URC will be exactly the same is kidding themselves. We've already had what amount to admissions that that will be the case: "Only 'trusted' posters will be able to talk about certain issues", etc. It's truly pathetic, and will thankfully very quickly lead to the new group becoming tumbleweed city (if it even gets off the ground at all).
