Luna,

I'll be frank with you as well: I approach things a bit different from the
way you do.

It seems obvious to me that you approach things assuming the administrator
is right. I approach things with an open mind and analyze the data first,
then see what I can see from there. The majority of the time, I'lll admit
that the administrator is right.

This, however, is plainly not one of those times. Instead, this seems to be
an attempt to control the content of a page by one small group of users who
happen to have an administrator or two to help them out, and it is the use
of administrator powers to gain a leg up in a content dispute that I
primarily have a problem with.

I have a second problem with the abuse by these administrators in removing
the complainant's complaints from other pages, which is in effect trying to
hide what they are doing from the community at large.
