Summary: 

Back in the olden days when us usenetters could participate actively in
fa.poli-sci we had to deal with JoSH's behavior.  It is his view that
since he is moderating the digest, he gets first crack at any submission
which comes in.  I suspect the only way to stop that would be to wrest
the moderatorship away from him.  Since over the three or four years I've
been reading fa.poli-sci nobody seems to have bothered to try and do that
I guess it isn't worthwhile.

To be fair, JoSH is scrupulously fair in representing all sides of an issue
in his digests if you can hack the editorial comments.  Were he truly an
autocrat, nothing but his own point of view would be reflected.
