I imagine it moved because it's about the forum. It's still a fun discussion, but in the right place.


So far as I can tell, the moderators make their decisions on moderation with regards to the best interests of the forum. This rarely crosses paths with their personal convictions. The evidence is demonstrated in the forum's popularity and warm and loving environment.


They moderate because of a fairly socialist conviction that they enjoy the forum, and the contribution to its upkeep is both reasonable and beneficial.


Converseley they post with regard to their personal convictions and affiliations.


Moderators don't edit posts, and so far as I can tell exclusion or suspension is by consensus not unilateral prejudice.


All the evidence is that public knowledge of the identity of moderators exposes them to ill-founded personal attacks, persecution and a dismal reduction of the pleasure such a thriving community confers.


I sincerely doubt the ambition of those who seek moderators 'outed'. It reminds me of children who having pulled apart their favourite toy to see how it works discover they can't put it together again.


Really, honestly, drop it. The glee of your investigation won't mitigate the tears before bedtime.

    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?  
    • I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
