Cool, I'll be more detailed next time. Sorry for the trouble. You could really do more yourself not to hide/remove comments with equally inflammatory responses.

It's quite irritating to have something done like that by someone who is essentially the shot-caller on a site like this on an issue which boils down to opinion. The highbrow condescension isn't necessary either... Anyways, perhaps it's moderation like this that's necessary to keep the forum quality. I do wish it were approached in a different manner however. Even just asking for more clarification or elaboration would have been a better move in this situation.
Anyways, thanks for moderating I guess. I understand that it's a thankless job.
- dang 6y agoThanks for the thoughtful reply! I'm open to learning how to be less irritating or condescending—it would make life easier, and I'm sure it's possible. Calling the shots doesn't just boil down to opinion–there are principles here. They don't determine everything precisely—different people would make different calls. But the principles aren't infinitely flexible, either, and we have a lot of practice in applying them.
