Well, moderators get bashed if they do too much, or too little, so I understand that you can't please everyone. I believe in keeping a club-like atmosphere, so a bit of off-topic banter here and there is fine. But reading personal attacks (no, they are not cleverly disguised) is simply unpleasant. I favor a light moderation touch, but I would have stepped into this one and at least told people to keep it factual. Or maybe I would have just killed it outright, and then taken flak for it. ;) Mind you I don't care if people are violently opposed on a particular subject, but it's possible to argue, even with someone you don't like, without getting personal. This thread has been about as ugly as I predicted it would be when I first saw it.
