Not for me because I am encouraged to read all posts no matter what the subject matter is. You would be surprised how many times I have started a thread on BFT about a subject that I really didn't feel that strongly about (and sometimes even felt the opposite about); however, because I had received PMs from other members voicing their concerns I have been willing to make a post and take the heat for making it. I am willing to do that because I feel it goes with the territory of being a moderator. You may also notice that rarely do you see me taking sides on a controversial thread. I do this intentionally because I do not want members to feel that I am being biased in how I moderate certain subjects. Sometimes it becomes humorous because I get accused of taking sides when I have edited, deleted, or locked a thread when the person accuses me of having views that are opposite to my actual views. I would like to meet the moderator that takes more effort to be unbiased than I do. Please do not take what I have just written as seeking sympathy or praise -- I seek neither and I deserve neither -- just trying to do my job as I see it.
