I demand resignation of a moderator who deleted my on-topic comments

Thank you for raising your concerns. I cannot go into much detail because that would involve things that were said in private, with the rightful expectation that they wouldn't be shared publicly.

Election check-in - Who's interested in stepping up to help being a moderator here?
I'll run for mod, if you'll have me.

Mods Binging on Reviews. Leave some for the rest of us?
Sure. Absolutely. Happy to oblige.
There was a sizable backup in close reviews roughly just a week ago and I thought "Well since no one is doing it I better take it on." Good to know people are ...

Is there a way to talk privately to a moderator?
Sure there is. Drop by in the ELL chatroom, and then say this exact same thing there. A moderator will open a private chatroom for you and them.
