I'm going to close threads that are solely designed to attack the community.

Of all people penguinbait, you should be aligned with that.

Ah, the inevitable hyperbolic invocation of Godwin's Law [1]

Feel free to find a forum dedicated to hatred, anger and anarchy if this one doesn't suit you.

I'm tired of spending my rare personal time plowing through PMs and reported post emails to deal with the occasional nastiness here only to encounter rank exaggerations like yours. Be very careful in your wishes-- I'm actually a light moderator and if I get disgusted enough to quit you might not like either alternative afterward.

Not THIS moderator. I'm very tolerant but lately I've had enough of the community attack threads. They serve NO purpose, SD69.

But anyone who doesn't like my approach is free to complain about it to Reggie. I almost quit this thankless gig once and I've been on the edge of it lately. I'm trying to strike a balance and help the overall community and I'm not going to cater to a shrill minority. Anyone who thinks this role is easy is deluding themselves.
