Back in the dial up a BBS with a 1200 baud modem days, I hung out on a couple of boards: The international 'C' Programing Echo ( Those guys taught me a lot! ), and another that I can't recall anything about, except that the handle of one of the posters was Cthulu, and that many posters often ended their posts with some sort of quote.
Neither BBS would put up with the flames or disrespect to another poster, that I sometimes I see here. A first offense would get you a nasty note from the moderator. Three times and you were barred from posting. People that were barred sometimes tried to sneak back in under a different handle. This never worked, flamers got to flame.
The moderator was elected every year and they almost never ran for two consecutive terms. I called this "moderator burn out".
After all, who would want to ride herd over a bunch of unruly techies, 24/7, for more than one year?
This weekend seemed especially unruly to me.
IMO everybody should just lighten up! Especially you members of the Kudo Klub Klique. :>)>
