  I don't know wat happened between these people but if u ask me the role of the moderator is really to upkeep domain order. He can chat and tell all he want but he can not exercise the powers of the moderator to censor off views contrary to wat he like to read. One need to realise tis is a forum. Tis is a big world and there r always people who don't agree with u. If one resort to censoring he might as well go to other areas and in the case of christainity u can just stay in the church

  If a Moderator censor off views, how do you even know the views are those he or she dislike ? Views can be censored off with reason quoted as "inappropriate" or "damaging" to the forum.
  
  But what is deemed as "inappropriate" by a Moderator, might be a candy for another member. So what is this "domain order" as you mentioned ? Personally, i dont think it is even logical to talk about a world domain order in a forum or anywhere esle in this world.
  
  Seems to me, that as much as some Moderators wish to insist their points of view, some forum members also want others to buy their individual ideas about "order". So what ? back to the basics of who is "better" to create a social order you want.
  
  At the end of the day, Moderators of a particular forum have the responsibility to monitor and yes, delete off views that is considered damaging according to certain principles upheld by the Moderators themselves. This is a forum, yes. But it is a forum created with intention behind. Let these intentions work it out by the Moderators. If one do not buy it, dont shop in that forum.
  
  The forum is but a tool. Behind this tool are still humans, and not God.
