Responding to Baby Lee here:
Quote:
Or comport yourself in a non-cesspool way, and see if your example inspires others.
The things that bother you don't bother me, and the things that bother me don't bother you [and I don't complain about].
I don't complain, but as here I push back with my own perspective when others complain. And when I feel compelled to 'complain' it's directly to the offending party at the time and place of offense with concrete reasons, . . . not 'it's all a cesspool filled with nazis' which is undiscussable, undisprovable, and inflammatory.
'Heightened moderation' just invites more 'vitriol' about what decisions are made, and further likely promotes more passive-aggression and people being assholes in more elaborate, mod-proof ways in rebellion.

1. People going out of their way to mask their horrendousness is better than being blatantly horrendous.
2. I don't really care about people pouting that they've been removed from a thread after threatening or constantly insulting people. Pout away.
