You know, it's really hard for me to see the modding as the root of anything at all.

If the modding's been too harsh - and I don't agree that it has - it's been in response to humorless, aggressive, acrid, bitter, awful posting and the behavior of the comm.

I also get the sense that there's some kind of agenda tied up in this, which is confusing to me. That doesn't mean that anyone is insincere! Of course people can have all kinds of issues with the modding and the comm and everything. But there has been a kind of wardrum around this message lately.
