Yes, it was a rather telling admission from Jackson. It amounts to "I accept or reject posts according to my prejudices and/or gut feeling, and the rejection category is just an afterthought so I've got an excuse".

It's not remotely surprising that that's the way he "moderates", although it is somewhat unexpected that he's been upfront about it. Good of him to provide yet more ammo for a (decent) RFD anyway.
