Well, OK, most people are I suppose capable of redemption, and while I struggle to believe that Jackson will ever be able to force himself to start moderating in a truly fair and unbiased way, I agree that *if* he did, it would be the optimal solution (if partly because of the difficulty and hassle of finding a new platform).

I can't see it, but never say never. It would require a frank admission that he'd been going about things the wrong way, and preferably an apology as well, which in itself I think he'd find very difficult. But I guess there's a chance. It's certainly his only hope in the long run if he wants to remain at the helm (and that's another thing, he really needs to stop pretending that he's the same as all the other "moderators").
