Hey, first of all, I want to say that I think the Mods here do a great job and that moderation here is better than when I first started reading the SDMB IMHO. Once in a blue moon, however, one must politely ask a few questions. In [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=18938385#post18938385) thread about Black Lives Matter, **Miller** makes the following comment: [He didn’t call you a Nazi, he pointed out that, by your logic you could be called a Nazi. Which is why people should not follow your logic, because it leads to transparently ridiculous conclusions.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=18937907&postcount=383) Which is followed immediately by this comment by **Jonathan Chance** : [QSH, you should know better than to insult someone like this. Warning issued. Control yourself.]([http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=18938385&postcount=384](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=18938385&postcount=384)) These two opinions on the same post could not be more divergent AFAICT. Personally I think that **Miller** has the right of it - but perhaps there is something I am not seeing. ---

You are looking at the wrong thing-- it’s not about Nazis. Look at how **QSH** changed GloryDays username in his post. ---

**Miller** is not a Great Debates moderator. In general, moderators do not moderate outside their own forums. ---

> [@Frank](#): > > **Miller** is not a Great Debates moderator. In general, moderators do not moderate outside their own forums. That is true; but is it not odd that two moderators would have such a wildly different view about a post that receives a warning? Maybe I’m wrong about that - this is not something I’ve ever seen before. ---

Maybe I’m wrong about that - this is not something I’ve ever seen before. Did you read post #2? **GloryDays** -\> **GloryHole**. THAT is what was being moderated. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > If **Miller** hadn’t posted what he did, you probably wouldn’t have been biased to be looking for the Nazi reference. It’s all **Miller’s** fault! I think this should be made a standard SDMB rule. “It’s always Miller’s fault. Blame Miller.”
