Serious question.
I was wondering, when these little spats break out on a thread, as they have been wont to do over the years, why is it that the current crop of mods feel that they have to get so heavily and actively involved and start dishing out infractions and threatening bans?
Such exchanges have happened quite regularly over the many years I have been on here, and provided they stay within General and don't get litigious, or ridiculously out of hand, they have largely been allowed to defuse of their own volition.
The robust nature of some of the debate on here is a very big part of the allure of the forum for many people, and, I thought, the very reason we have corraled off the General part from the other areas, and even labelled it with a warning of sorts.
I have heard it suggested that too much slanging in any given thread ruins it for other people. Hard to accept that really, there are always a gazillion threads on the go on here. If one is not to your liking simply jump into another one.
Frankly speaking, if the whole place is going to get too watered down and nicey-nicey then General might as well be mothballed.
