There has been some discussion about moderation on this site leading to some misconceptions and misstatements. This story is an attempt to set things straight.

Before that, though, I am going to take this opportunity to thank @fnord666: who is out Alternate Editor-in-Chief. I could not handle the load alone and his efforts have made a huge difference!
