I didn't say I don't care. I just reread the thread to be sure of that. Maybe you're referring to me saying it wasn't worth it to me to invest a lot of time in communicating with the moderators? That's different than not caring. I'm not especially interested in any particular scenario, or the fate of any single thread. So I don't think its worth my time (or theirs) to be PM'ing the moderators about what happened in one thread.
My interest or "care" is of a more general nature. This site has boards for discussing auto industry news, and their rules are such that the biggest industry news isn't discussed much. Sure, the nature of the topic is going to provoke strong reactions, and it will get rough at times, but IMO that's an inherent characteristic of the topic. So as I see it, the question really comes down to whether or not they want to discuss industry news.

Presumably your goal was more specific?
Or did you tell them their consensus was way off base on the most relevant policy at the time, and see them do an about face?

I think that's a miscommunication between us. I don't think I said I don't care, and that wasn't the sentiment I intended to convey.

At this point I suspect all the moderators have already seen this thread. Repeating myself in private messages would probably be seen as antagonism. I've done enough of that in this thread, no need to carry on the fight on two fronts
