Asking commentators whether their claims lack factual evidence is actually part of the moderator's job description. It is not as if both the sides are lacking such evidence yet the moderator is only asking one side to be out with it. Moreover, discussion includes answering questions asked as part of the discussion, and not merely monologuing rants. What I do have a problem with is the moderator's open declaration of personal stance using the website handle. If they need to declare that, then they should comment using their own name or an alias like others do.
