Asking for a friend...

I know a lot of folks that were good customers here (and also brought a lot of "clicks" to this site) that have left due to the heavy hand of certain moderators. We have had some that recognized their own bias on issues and tried to reign it in. Others have not. A little common sense would go a long way. If one is the recipient of multiple personal attacks...and there seems to be no moderation...eventually they will respond with similar. The same is true when something held relatively sacred is attacked...one's family, religion, country, etc. In my case, repeated attacks against the U.S. military as a group (while I have friends and relatives serving/dying)...it simply presses my buttons enough that I feel obligated to respond (with as much or more). If that gets me banned for life...so be it. The company has every right to manage the site as they see fit...but the folks that run to mommy irk me to no end. If two posters here engage in a bit of insult swapping...and neither is offended enough to cry to the management...why the heck would someone else do so? It reminds me of the sixth grade tattletale. It seems one would at least make sure their own feces didn't smell first.

Sounds like "management" recognizes the real problem.
