First let me address the topic, moderators / editors here are here because they are all enthusiastic members of the MobileRead community. They are all entitled to express their opinions in accordance with the forum guidelines just like anyone else on MobileRead. In return you are free to express your own opinions in the same civil manner. If this bothers your sense of fair play you're also free to move to another forum.
