Default Cyclocide = Bearshare defender?

Cyclocide,

As forum moderator it seems rather odd that you 'educate' forum users on the details of spyware in Bearshare.

Looks like you have more to do with the Bearshare people than meets the eye.

Even if you personally 'like' the Bearshare program, as a good forum moderator you should stay well away from any discussions as to the pro and cons of features and undesirable functions of the software discussed here, and especially not take sites to one or the other.

Next you may 'moderate out' (=censor) articles posted which are against or for a specific program? I hope not.

If you have to voice your own opinion, you really must not do it as moderator, i.e. use a different name.
There is nothing wrong with having your own opinion and voicing it, while being a moderator too.
Wearing 2 hats is quite common, keeping them apart is the difficult bit.

This forum is so very useful to express and find information and concerns about Gnutella Network programs, but being 'educated' by the moderator on a program like Bearshare, which causes so much controversy, should not occur.

Please moderate, but do not speak for or against one or the other programs discussed here in your official function.

Thank you.

JD
