I think there is a difference between criticizing the concomm for not dis-inviting Elizabeth Moon as GoH for the awful things she said and burning or beheading her, and it is not just a difference of scale.
No, I'm disagreeing that anger directed at Elizabeth Moon or the concomm is in any way equivalent to the Terror or witch trials. I won't shout and lecture here (shouting is already done), but it is one of my pet peeves that sends me into screaming rants. I like and respect you, so if you do come over and see me shouting, I am not singling you out, but, again, pet peeve; large breed.
It is a lesser witch hunt and I may have a tongue lodged firmly other than between my teeth. I think the outrage over deleting the comments is ill-formed. I find it ill-mannered to lecture another on their home territory. (I'm not talking about you here.) I may be exaggerating slightly, but then I always follow Mark Twain's advice to never deny a rumor; always increase it and pass it on.
I know what you're saying, I still think you mischaracterize it, unless there are indeed threats on Ms. Moon's life. It's a popular characterization, and again, a pet peeve of mine, which I have seen many places this week and last.
