    We can't, and won't, predict what will or will not turn not-yet-existing people from posting.

    Nor do we ask our moderators to become devoid of personalities, or to give up their viewpoints at the door.

    We do expect them to be fair, and uphold the basic standards we expect. Now if you have an example of that, we'll be glad to look at it. However, we're not going to shelter people from robust debate either.

    The next person to discuss moderation will be banned. No exceptions.
    Simple scare tactics?

    Yes, you linked. I read. I didn't see anything wrong with it.

    More like clear instructions within the general guidelines of the site.

    Discussions of moderation have no place in a thread, as they drag the thread off topic.

    Thanks for your opinion.
    I still think that the moderator level of aggression was to much.
