Re: Moderation
The block party analogy given by the_logos above is something we've used on our game for a long time. Lasher puts in the legwork and foots the bills. He's the host. Everyone else is welcome to come in and have fun. They're the guests. The people Lasher's known for a while are the moderators. They're the people he's asked to help him keep an eye on things. In general, the host wants lots of guests to come by. The more the merrier.
To steal from a co-owner of CF: In that analogy, Cratylus is the guy who drank too much and took a dump on the couch. The host is going to ask him to leave, even if he stands on the lawn afterwards and curses about how the 'Stalinist' violated his 247th Amendment rights to attend any party he pleases.
That doesn't make the host a mass murderer. It makes him a regular guy that wants to go about his business without a pile of unneeded aggravation. TMS has been seeing a lot of long-needed upgrades recently, and I'd rather see him continuing to get that done instead of re-re-re-re-clarifying his every decision.
