I'd be willing to try being a politics thread moderator (for one thread) if that would help to try an experiment?
I'd hardly call this statement "in favour of moderation". I was offering to help trial something. That doesn't make me in favour of it per se, in my view, simply in favour of trying it (along the lines of "I don't agree with what you say but support your right to say it").
