[Jeff Higgins]

We have a new moderator. I've seen him do this a couple of times now, with absolutely innocuous threads.

I have been here since 2004, with over 16,000 posts. I have never even been contacted by a moderator, I have never had a post "moderated" in any way, in short - I have never had a problem.

That has all changed. Today, I have had a post heavily edited, completely changing the meaning and context of that post. Another forum member's posts in that same thread were deleted, further leaving my post "hanging out to dry", completely out of context. Really made me look like an ass hole, so I wound up deleting my post so that its altered meaning would not be taken out of context.

If the goal posts have been moved, we all need to know. If we are now all subject to the subjective whims of a new moderator, we all need to know. As far as I can see, none of this forum's rules were violated by either your thread or my exchange with that other member. I see nothing in either case that has not been posted here time and time again, for as long as this forum has existed. Yet the man behind the curtain is pulling harder on the levers than I have ever seen in my 15+ years on this forum. I feel we are owed an explanation.
