Understood, but the fact is I did close the thread that triggered this one, and my final comments were addressed-- at first obliquely and then specifically. Couple that with the fact that I have closed several threads of that nature lately and there was really no way of divorcing me from the actions.

I got my hackles up mainly because I saw a defense of rank behavior at the root of the protests. Maybe that was the wrong aspect on which to focus. It's just that's where I'm coming from vis-a-vis the subject.

I'm just stymied on identifying a common complaint and then moving to a majority-agreed solution that doesn't negatively impact a rational minority. I don't even think it's possible-- which again is why my approach will default to the will of the general community. And the only complaint I get from the rank and file is that moderation is not hEAVY enough...
