Darlene's first post in this thread supports Stephen's idea more than any of the points being made. It's quite clear that the moderators here are human and they are capable of making mistakes. It's also quite clear that for the same reason, they feel emotions and can react to those. Darlene showed us that by generalizing Stephen's thread with all of the recent uprising threads.

I don't think this was the proper analysis at all, seeing as how he put forth his idea with respect and consideration--and the fact that it was purely a compromise. Unlike so many of the rest of us, Stephen saw that both sides were taking an extreme approach, all or nothing, massive change or no change. I can only commend him for suggesting a small, seemingly 'useless' change. I don't think he should be insulted for this, or attacked. It's obvious that by taking a middle ground he has received heat from both sides of the dispute, the moderation and the userbase.

I think he's got the right idea, and I think we should try seeing this compromise rather than just our own personal extremes.
