BH, but in real life, who are the moderators? Either we moderate a situation ourselves or call in a higher power to help.

when someone has a conflict of interest, like that which apparently hinders the mods from taking the same action here they take punitively in so many other places, do you just hit "ignore"?


I'm not really understanding what you mean.
But to answer your question, if I see a subject matter I'd rather not read about, I ignore that user. I don't feel it necessary to contribute to that conversation. I acknowledge (to myself) that person and I have a difference - morally/ethically. I'm not going to change their mind and if I can't support them, I walk away. There are so many users on this site, I have confidence I find more like minded people if I choose to.
