Was this written in response to my post? Did it seem like I think my experience has been ruined in some way? That certainly wasn't my intention. I'm just a bit puzzled, because I can't find anyplace on the website where you could talk to another person in a way that could conceivable use a personal pronoun, and thus run afoul of this particular controversy. As I said, my best guess is that there's a meta discussion forum someplace that moderators can use. Are you implying that it's the main Q&A discussion that is having this issue?

Moderators are uniquely affected by the policy (and moreso its weirdly phrased FAQ) because they have to enforce it. It's fine if you don't think you'll have to care yourself, but they inevitably have to.

Was this written in response to my post? Did it seem like I think my experience has been ruined in some way? Yes, and yes, it reads as "I was engaged until Internet Point Chasing Dweebs came along and took my fun away. Cool - sarcastically said, not cool at all, I'm smarting and resent the change. I guess I was a fool to think it would last and rationalise that it was a plan I should have seen and then chastise myself for not seeing it; I will pick myself up and get over it while pretending I'm not bothered at all, and leave those idiots to their stupid trivial JavaScript". I can't find anyplace on the website where you could talk to another person in a way that could conceivable use a personal pronoun Monica Cellio particularly is involved in Workplace.stackexchange a site where people post interpersonal questions about their workplace, and there are many comments and replies on posts and answers which have references such as "In Alice's reply, she focuses on the legal side, but I'd like to draw attention to power dynamic between blah blah", or "I'm not sure this applies, OP said she is in Canada which has different expectations about blah blah", and often with regular posters discussing the question in amongst comments and their replies. There's also actual discussion forums (Slack-style web chatrooms) e.g. https://chat.stackoverflow.com/ https://chat.stackoverflow.com/ which is where long comment chains get moderator-moved to for more realtime he-said/she-said discussions. I believe many chatrooms per stackexchange sub-site. Plus moderator private chat / moderator to company chat. As I said, my best guess is that there's a meta discussion forum someplace that moderators can use. There is a meta site for every StackExchange site, yes. e.g. https://meta.superuser.com/ https://meta.superuser.com/ for SuperUser, and then there's meta.stackexchange.com for an overall meta-meta site.
