I'm going to step in here at the expense of sticking my neck out for back lashings Michael Fay-esque. Unless that thread was altered, I saw nothing in Clutch's post that was meant to be hurtful, bigoted, or intolerant in any way whatsoever. As a personal suggestion that I'm sure doesn't mean much, and probably shouldn't based on my caustic temperament, maybe moderators can consider context a little more and character or board history a little less. Clutch made a wise crack that fit well into the context of that thread. This was an example of the character of this forum which makes it exceptional. I would hate to see the character be derailed by PC driven moderating policies, or by minority agenda just to kowtow to a few.
I want to be clear that I highly respect the moderating practices here, and find them highly superior, tediously so, to other forums I've frequented and generally found intolerant, lazy, etc. (you pick the mold). With that said, I also think the recent inundation of complaints may be a sign that things are getting out of hand. Again, I'm expressing this sincerely and with respect.
