Only if you're so intolerant of opposing opinions that you immediately killfile anyone the second that they disagree with what you purport to think. On any group/forum with the posting volume that this one has, genuine trolls make themselves obvious very quickly; it absolutely does not take "considerable time to tune your killfile", which somewhere like this should only have a handful of entries anyway, if that.

When you say things like that (along with "My 'moderation' decisions will be arbitrary and that's tough shit") you just show your utter unsuitability as a "moderator". You *quite clearly* won't tolerate opposing opinions if your killfile is so massive and takes so long to "tune"...there's no other explanation for that. Your attitude is nowhere near one that a proper moderator should have.

Therefore, as of now, I am now objecting to you being a moderator as well as Jackson, Clinch and Braggins. If you pledge to make an effort to be even-handed, and express regret that you've been so quick to killfile those who simply think differently to you, I may be prepared to reconsider. But of course that won't happen.
