I don't think I know of a practice of people directing discussion,
(without handing out voices or taking them away), so hence my
confusion. I am not sure we have a simular word in danish, at least my
english-danish dictionary doesn't give clue of one (except 'modererer',
which I expect to be an imported word; looking it up in a danish
dictionary, it has the meaning to make quiet someone or something).
Thanks for clearing this up!
