A more apt comparison would be with a news program on Fox or CNN. The moderators there are hardly moderate.
Besides, Mike owns the site, and is not a moderator. He should receive some editorial leeway, even when he barrels into a thread and gets his panties in a bunch. I do see your point to a degree (groucho vs harpo), but it is his perogative to do so.

Ownership has inherit rights, I agree. I always held this site in high regard as a public forum to discuss various angles to the game, and I enjoy the back and forth. It loses alot of credibility when an admin arbitrarily decides to declare a horsemans opinion as "bullshit". Perhaps he was having a bad night? No excuse to inject oneself in that manner nonetheless.
