JKE Daniel - you stated:
"I will state with absoluteness no one, would have taken the number of shots Leon has from this guy - and just lived with it because this is America and people can say whatever they want."
I can assure you that there are people on this board, posting in this very thread, who dont happen to be the moderator and have taken many more shots on a day to day basis than Leon has from Jay. Peter - care to comment? Consistency of treatment? I think not.
Again, some of the shots taken by people on this board are well deserved, some are not. In Leon's case, he does accept money from advertisers. I have no problem with that. However, as a result of that decision, I believe he should either avoid commenting in any thread where it might look like a conflict or stop taking advertising dollars. Such a concept is not unheard of. Indeed, in the legal profession, judges recuse themselves from cases all the time to avoid even the appearance of a conflict - regardless of whether there is truly a conflict or not.
