Considering how much conflict resulted from this "misread", I would say that the moderating staff needs to be more cautious before accusing people of breaking rules and issuing edicts and warnings to that effect, more clear on precisely what the warning is for, and more apologetic when they err on such a warning.D.Turtle wrote:My issue is that you jumped into a thread accusing everyone of behavior only one persone was showing and derailing the thread.

Ok, I misread that situation.As for the idea that I have a vendetta against Flagg, I've never discussed this issue with him directly and have no history with him whatsoever that I can remember. I can't even remember ever talking to him directly before this thread and have no clue who he is or what his positions on issues are generally.
PS. Not that this means the troll who spoke up with the usual "goddamned moderators, I hate this place" revolutionary rhetoric shouldn't have been banned. That bullshit doesn't fly.
