Concerning Pig's scepticism towards Ele's moderation.

Well the problem is that palatable is generally applied to food or drink to mean tasty rather than to discussion forum threads, but this just counts as imaginative and interesting use of vocabulary. If we take it to mean bearable or discussable (as would be wise) then since arguing some white people are racist is certainly easier than arguing that all white people are racist (as the original thread would probably require us to do). I'm sure you recognise the difference between improvement and perfection (not that you ask for complete perfection, but you can probably understand what I mean) of which Ele only claimed to have achieved the former.
If you think Ele isn't justified in even believing that such an absurd statement could be argued then I suggest you adjust your expectations of this forum to something a little closer to reality or write an official complaint rather than nitpicking a perfectly accurate statement. Now, I would rather you didn't retaliate to this. You said you weren't sure about something so I am attempting to clarify it for you, I don't want to start am over-convoluted and for the most part irrelevant argument about my second favourite discussion forum Lmod with you.
Thanks, I will try to get involved in this argument later so you have a way to rip into me but no promises.

Also, from past experience I realise this might get a bit heated between BP and Piggy. I would like to ask you to please not succumb either to aggression in retaliation to clearly provocative posts directed towards you or to making mocking and frustrating comments directed at each other. If you two go nuts then it can really ruin the thread.
Although this is most likely to be a problem with BP and Napoleon this message goes for everyone. (Hopefully you understand George Orwell references).
