Is FAIR AND BALANCED moderation too much to ask for?

1) Calling out the Mods is not very wise.
2) If you provide examples (links to threads and/or quotes from referenced thread) to back up your comments, then it will not seem as much of a rant.

Yes. Links, please.
It's a long-running issue with the mod I call the "neocon mod" and myself.
I'm just sick and tired of being singled out due to a particular mod's personal vendetta against my political opinions. I have been given several one-week vacations over very minor infractions (one not even being an infraction but, rather, a sarcastic reply in a thread now since deleted). When I seek "fair play" by mods in threads where I see obvious trolling, I'm met with responses from the mods such as:
That's very mature. :roll:
BTW, my "name calling" was my reference to the "neocon mod". Since moderation up here is completely anonymous (a ridiculous stance, imho), I have no other way of referring to particular mods and that description fits this one in particular.
Yes, I'm ranting and whining but I feel it's entirely justified. I'm just sick and tired of the heavy bias in the moderation.

You've got to be kidding me. How many times have you personally responded with "There is no leftist moderator bias, you're just being paranoid" and similiar when all the "conservative "posters started a whine-fest about moderator bias so many months/years back? Now that your head is on the chopping block, suddenly there *is* a huge moderator conspiracy? :laugh:
I think I stepped off the plane into Bizarro World. 😕
All the neocon mods must be lined up against him and the liberal mods have been bought off.😛

really conjur with the way you attack people who don't share your views in P&N you've gotten away with a lot.
So

As much as I personally disagree with some of the decisions made by the mods (and some policies), the fact is, you must recognize that the mods are HUMAN, and that they are fallible. Some just plain don't like certain users, and have to do their best to moderate those emotions.
I think the fact that the mods are 'anonymous' leads to people expecting them all to act the same, and that's simply not true.

Incorrect.
It seems that people expect them to act in the way they personally want, because it is felt that there is no accountability.
Within P&N, for a liberal style person, they expect that the Mod will be liberal and support their side.
The same goes for a conservative.
When a Mod from the opposite side of the spectrum (weighs in) then that blows their ideal fantasies to kingdom come.
Remove the Liberal/Conservative label and insert what ever polarization issue exists in any forum her and the same result occurs.

Conjur isn't the only flamboyant (to put it nicely) poster in P&N but IIRC most of the other flamboyant posters have also had vacations.
I don't expect favors. I expect fair treatment. If a "conservative" mod gives someone who's "liberal" a week for trolling or insults or whatever, they should do the same when spotting a similar post from a "conservative" poster.
Why is that too much to ask?
As for mosh, well, you just happen to have a mod that apparently has a crush on you and took my sarcastic reply as some sort of personal attack against you and I was punished for it. What you'll find if you care to look at my posts is that I'll respond in kind. I've had plenty of good debates with people on the opposite side that truly want to engage in debate. When the one-liners come in with the trolls and snipes, it's hard to keep ignoring them.
Why is asking for a mod to treat all the same too much to ask for? I treat all alike at my own board. I've had to reign in some posters who I even know personally. It's the right thing to do.
It will boil down to context of a post vs impressions.
What you mean may not be what it appears.
The same probably happens for the other side of the coin.
You just may push the envelope more and/or be more outspoken aboiut the envelope.

Hell dude, SarcasticDwarf told you to "kill yourself" and the mods did nothing. What else can you expect but pure hypocrisy.

What I find laughable is this statement--I expect fair treatment
Define fair?
You can`t!! Becuase whats fair to you might not, probably is not and most likely will not be viewed as FAIR to others!!
We each have our own definition of fair when we are confronted with supposedly hypocritical actions by other people.
When in fact that or those or thems other people are acting on there definition of fair.
So let me ask-- Is that FAIR???

Pfft
There once was a time - with your aggressive constant cursing and insults, if you were conservative and acted this way you would have joined the ranks of the perma-banned. Should we make a list?
Then it seems the bannings stopped for a while. Less targets probably, but also I think a subtle change in policy.
Perhaps this mod is trying to bring balance back into the Force - too many Jedi have been killed 😀
PS: keep complaining, I believe that's how CSG got permed.
PPS: If anyone wants links, it was Conjur whining about me. He demands a ban!
