I totally agree to this.

In accordance to his DIATRIBE, this NOT offered to you...You will 
censored whether you like it or NOT.  Of course, in accordance to 
Orren's diatribe.

My questioning now is...Is Orren Merton suited to be a moderator?  In 
view of what I just read, personally I think the mod squad has the 
responsibility to let him go.  Since he has taken this too far...at 
least with Jeremy, there is a compromise for a Rational Resolution.  
But Orren is questionable, because he creating a greater divide, rather 
than bringing people together and making final decision.  At least 
Jeremy is listening to Henrik, and taking note.

Like what I said earlier, on monday:

Right now...Orren is acting out of "a" rather than "b".  Unfavorable in 
my view.
