Yes. I think you should moderate Carl. I think he was just as much
responsible for this level of discussion.
In fact, I think your posts on the issue were partisan in his favour. I
don't believe that you're being fair, at all, by moderating Cra2. Not that
I subscribe to his position, or even Carl's.
And, I certainly don't think that the amount of time someone has been on a
list merits any kind of 'respect'. That, it seems to me, is merely a
rationalisation of nepotism.
