No doc, you can't. You have to impose your moral values. You are not moderating, you are systematically censoring based on your interpretation, your standards, and your paradigms. A MODERATOR simply keeps play in bounds, and a good moderator will wait until someone raises a flag before taking the fairly extreme step of message deletion etc. As for your respect for women: You say you will let their posts speak for themselves. NO, you don't. Here comes Dr. Pete, like Don Quixote, jousting at the windmill because deep down, he believes the women CAN'T speak for themselves. So he appoints himelf not only moderator but defender of the "weaker sex" because somewhere deep down, he thinks they need his defense. Now THAT ios condescending to women.
Hang your head in shame.
I knew I shouldn't have logged back on tonight, but at least I got my PM about buying a Trek touring bike...
