> I agree that it is not productive to cast dispersions or direct accusations towards a specific person, despite the understanding that it might indeed be that person who behaved in a way that is now being deliberated.
>Uhhh, yeah.. I do and always will consider myself to be a visitor on this forum, so I guess it's not up to me to discuss how exactly the forum and its moderation is supposed to work, but I dare to say that, seeing the whole admin board here, (a) the current way of doing things doesn't work and (b) it doesn't really surprise me. Instead of calling people out on misbehavior, there's discussions about whether or not posts are accusatory, whether "accusations" are productive, etc. etc. I think that, first and foremost, this hyper-deliberation of the smallest things is not productive, while larger issues - such as Maxime's problems with other posters - are basically ignored.
