Please give a single example of a time when Tom Crispin has demonstrably lied. I'm hardly his biggest fan but that does seem unwarranted.

And even if he does owe other people apologies, that doesn't affect the fact that "Moderator X" (who I'll call "Clinch" for no particular reason) owes him an apology, and should show that he's the bigger person by making it publicly. But he won't, because Clinch is extremely arrogant and never admits he's wrong about anything (in common with most who seek to censor opposing opinions). Foolish of him really as apologising in this instance would probably raise general opinion of him (it can't really lower it much further).
