As a bit of a moderate in some areas, I can appreciate the flexibility of thought presented by them as opposed to the rigid thinking encountered from most extremists of both ilks. That flexibility is seen as "unpredictable and unreliable" only by those who do not understand it. No, we moderates don't usually have our minds instantly made up. We do consider a lot more information before doing so, and I don't see that as a bad thing. And as numbah said before me, a little compromise is a healthy thing, otherwise we end up fighting over everything and getting nothing done.
