I don’t know, geeks universally like to nitpick, and somehow have this idea that the internet is the place where that nitpicking actually is good and valued and adds inches to their geek weewee. Or they build a temple to dogmas they believe. Who knows. Maybe you should create a forum where this kind of behavior is not tolerated. But then again, once your community grows large enough, you’re bound to get obnoxious pedants who will make a flamestorm about whether X or saying X or doing Y constitutes nitpicking or not and will beat the issue to death abd beyond. Somehow your moderators will get caught in these and take sides. Or you will find that the moderators are the worst offenders. No, I don’t know how to fight it, it’s bad enough in the workplace already. Suffice to say I keep fighting the tendencies in myself, and sometimes I lose.
