What I find amusing is that I’m a moderator for a forum that probably gets 50 times the daily traffic this forum gets, and posts are rarely, if ever, reported for language, despite posts/topics where language and tone get further than anything that came up in the Szasz thread (mostly due to people from different countries having trouble communicating). So it was kind of cute to have someone report me for language that was pretty minor compared to what I might see on a daily basis, and I was more than happy to return the favor.
I will say that I was very disappointed that the moderator locked and relegated the thread to the doldrums. As evidenced by the redux, the original topic had valuable content for a continued discussion, and there were plenty of ways that topic could’ve been modified so it could remain active.
