That is a great story Joe!
I have met some truly thoughtful intelligent group leaders- admins and mods- on fb. People who take the time to think over both sides of any disagreement, and who give thought to the future implications of decisions they might make. I have also met some really, really unimaginative people who somehow became admins, I can only surmise, to feed their own power hungry delusions of grandeur.
I feel like I've been spoiled here for many years by the quality of the mods and admin. While for the most part that has been a positive experience, allowing me to be me, the downside has been the sense of shock I have felt when seeing less qualified people act out their power fantasies on an innocent membership in some of the fb groups I look in on.
