Is it safe to criticise Mods?

Why do certain mods try to stifle posters opinions? I've been on a certain thread that was following a recent story. I'm aware it sparked some emotions, but I felt the mods were a bit OTT in their heavy handedness by snipping comments, warning posters, and even closing the thread!!!! :confused: There was no reason for them…

There was no reason for them to be so ....... hitler-Esqe in their behaviour towards posters that were asking legitimate questions and observations !!
Is it a case of some just get a bit "Godly" with their power? Is it a power trip ??
I dont understand why they have to sensor people's questions towards world news, and I think they are in danger of ruining boards !!
Opinions ?

Boards isn't politically / socially neutral, the political / social opinions of many moderators are consistent to the point that it can't be coincidence, so yes, certain discussions will always be stifled.
