And that’s a natural consequence of the board’s make-up, and so not a problem.

Unless you’re suggesting that the board’s moderation should be _different_ for conservatives? That they should be given more of a _safe space_ from moderation? That some kind of _action_ be taken to _affirm_ these conservatives, even when they don’t meet existing standards (of behaviour)?
