There's a good reason for that. This whole thing is just an elaborate exercise to get rid of those with the "wrong" opinions while pretending that it's about "moderation". It's an absolute disgrace and a deceptive abuse of process. Censorship, as opposed to proper moderation, has no place on usenet.
