This is moderation used for censorship, rather than SPAM prevention or
something like that.  And I want no part of it.

What, one poor user posted a C programming question the other week, is
that the huge problem?  That's why moderation is needed?

And sadly, that poor soul got flamed to a crisp by Ulrich instead of
politely being shown other appropriate channels for his questions.

All of this just smells bad.
