Chris, Interesting social commentary, and interesting that you chose to call it out. Nothing is easy with a community of 3000+ people and there is always a "better way to do it". It's a challenge to balance everything out and with such a broad group it's hard to know how to "be nice" or "be helpful". I love to take things offline, but I also appreciate seeing what is going on. It's not always easy to find the right mix. I think our moderators are doing a fine job.
