*shrugs* I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt on this point, yes. (As I mentioned, I found the definition etc eventually, so that's OK.)
For the record: IMO mods certainly have a responsibility for their comm, but I find it credible that ones on high-volume comms (which I gather this one is) don't actually check out everything posted there unless someone comments. As far as I can tell from what they've posted, this seems to be their position. Their position on Crouch/elf would presumably be that it's like Harry/veela or whatever, not like Aberforth/goat, and thus something they considered OK to lump in with Dean/Luna. As we agreed(?) before, no it's not OK to do that, but it's a different sort of thing from goatfic.
You obviously don't find it credible, and hell, you might be right, but unfortunately we seem to have got sidetracked into discussing this particular aspect of the controversy (the goatfic) at tl;dr length. I'm not arguing that they didn't do some dumb shit in general, obviously.
