Interesting. After this posting, all my contributions have been held and
screened by the list admin.
Did I hit a little too close to home?

Don't bother reporting abusive admins. Nothing ever comes of it. Most are
good people, but there are also a lot of officious bad apples.
However...those bad apples are not the worst of it. The problem is with all
the good apples. They remain quiet and unwilling to punish the bad apples,
because they fear possible retribution. So the bad apples are allowed to
rot, and stink up the place.
Good apples unfortunately follow the Japanese saying: "The nail that stands
up, is pounded down."
I quit Wikipedia weeks ago.
Or...did I? (evil laugh)

Hi,
How can I report an abuse by a moderator? I was blocked unfairly due to
an
ethnic debate in which the moderator had taken
sides. I read somewhere
that
I had to join the mailing list, and so I did. I
don't know how to
participate however, I'd like to know who should I contact concerning
this
problem.
Thanks in Advance.
