Apr 21, 2015 at 19:06 comment added The Masked Avenger Ok. New attempt posted. It looks like it is not going well, but let's wait. Sometimes it takes a whole day for things to crash and burn spectacularly.
Apr 21, 2015 at 16:16 comment added Todd Trimble Mod @TheMaskedAvenger That sounds good to me.
Apr 21, 2015 at 16:13 comment added The Masked Avenger Given the number of downvotes, readers will have to work to find this meta post. Much as I prefer the edited form (I really am bothered by rants), I agree with Bill Johnson and think a new question with the same topic be started. If encouraged, I will make the new post, and someone can copy the answer so it is more visible.
Apr 21, 2015 at 16:00 comment added Todd Trimble Mod @BillJohnson Thanks for responding to this. Now that you bring it up, it's indeed possible that I should have performed a different type of action to clean up the mess created by the rejected migration: clear the migration history and then simply close the original post which was sitting at MO. In other words, there are technical aspects of moderating which I'm still learning (as they arise). But I think the post can be re-closed without recreating that mess.
Apr 21, 2015 at 15:37 comment added Bill Johnson For the record: I disagree with the decision to reopen and edit the question. If someone believes that there is an objective question lurking there that should be explored, then IMO that person should have started a separate thread.

removed (to some degree) the rant-like tone
Apr 21, 2015 at 14:29 comment added Todd Trimble Mod On consultation with others, I have decided to reopen (closure of the question means the migration is rejected; this places the question under lock). Perhaps the question can be edited to remove the rant-like tone; there is an objective question lurking there, and the OP also has a right to hear an explanation if that is what he wants. (I had nothing to do with the posts that were deleted, in case anyone is wondering.)

Apr 20, 2015 at 15:42 comment added The Masked Avenger Absolutely right @quid. I should have said StackExchange, not StackOverflow. Thanks for the correction.
Apr 20, 2015 at 13:27 comment added user9072 @TheMaskedAvenger it would be completely misguided to contact the Stack Overflow moderators about this subject (just as wrong as it would be to contact this site's moderators for an issue on Physics). What you likely meant is to contact the SE community managers; this is a different group of persons though.
Apr 20, 2015 at 13:12 comment added Tobias Kildetoft @JohannesHahn It might be the right place for questions about moderation. It is not the right place for rants like this.
Apr 20, 2015 at 12:43 comment added Johannes Hahn Where do all the down-votes and close-votes come from? Is this a left over from the time this question spent on MO itself? Or are these new votes acquired here on meta? Because it seems to me that for this kind of question meta is exactly the right place.

Apr 20, 2015 at 4:06 comment added Lucia I recall the OPs answer, and remember concurring with the moderator that deleted them. In any case, even if someone disagrees with the moderator's actions, the views in this question seem extreme.
Apr 20, 2015 at 3:59 comment added The Masked Avenger There is more than one level of redress, and more than one avenue for support. You can email both StackOverflow and MathOverflow moderators for assistance. Although you may have a complaint that is valid, and may be upset about, editorializing afterwards is more likely to get in the way of a good resolution than to help.
