No one has ever questioned other mods views even though they have in teh past been controversial. why so with Andrew, is it because his are 'political' views as opposed to views about ' normal' life. If so then I feel for teh future of this country that people are prepared to fall out, not trust, change behaviour with a person just because they see things differently than you. isn't that where we were with systems like apartheid, racism, slavery etc. You can have views about something that don't fit with your friends without them getting in the way of friendship, respect etc.
Graham often quotes teh "Race to teh bottom" in his posts, I'd rather it be a race to honesty and clarity irrespective of what side of the red/blue line that falls then we as voters can make our own decisions based on fact rather than propaganda.

Until very recently I've more than easily been able to distinguish between the official and the personal, from every single moderator on the site, when it comes to pm's.
After this week that is no longer the case, and if you can't see that you obviously haven't recieved such a messsage, one which is confusing as to it's status.
I took the risk of being banned, and hoped mine was a personal message of petulance, rather than an offical one.
It would avoid a conflict of interests if it was made clear as to which hat a moderator was wearing, when it comes to issuing demands.
Then there'd be no confusion.
