Nope. It's the 20 page Ryan Dancey thread in the GD forum.

That could be why. It's a rare day if I read a thread more than 3 pages long...

I have no issues with circumstance modifiers as long as the intent is to accurately model the situation rather than to artificially bloat skill check DCs in an attempt to present a challenging skill check. If I am going to ignore the enumerated skill DCs completely anyway, I'd prefer to be upfront with my players that I'm going to just assign DCs based upon personal judgement. i'm not really sure where I stand as a player since I haven't actually been a player in a D20 campaign.

Comfort level with circumstance modifiers

How do you feel about the circumstance modifier?

I have absolutely no problem with it.

I'm fine with it as long as it applies to NPCs and monsters as well as PCs.

I'm fine with it as long as the GM announces it as a house rule before the campaign begins.

I'm not comfortable with a GM applying circumstance modifiers not spelled out in the rules.
