Actually, Gert told me that he -was- done with the board. He was ready to shut down the board, (he was tired of it) but decided to go with moderators and keep the board open.
The board got these two particular moderators, because they live(d) on the island, were on the board from the beginning, and Gert knows them. None of these reasons have anything to do with choosing "politically" ("board politics") indifferent, objective moderators. I thought that the woman who has been this site's administrator for years (can't recall her mame, off hand) would have been an appropriate moderator. As it turned out, AllenB would probably be an improvement.
Both moderators were rife with "get back". (Especially, Rooney) And not just toward me. Remember, there were quite a few people contributing on this board who were of the same opinion as myself; with regard to TTOL/nudist cliques/cheerleading advertising etc., etc. These people were good, substantive posters. They knew a lot about St. Martin. They no longer post, here. There are still some posters who remain, and were of the same general opinion on many of the "issues in question", but there are no longer any: "threads of opinion".
When the moderators first began, I was deleted, daily; with posts that contained merely opinion. I sent several of these deleted posts of typical content to Gert for his opinion, and he said that he would not have deleted my posts. So, no, the moderator(s) -didn't/are not- moderating
the board as Gert, himself, would moderate the board.
