[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 3273707, member: 177"] I still think you were clear. I was not trying to paraphrase you - I was trying to describe some of the practical upshots of attempting to do what you suggested. You spoke of "Edition Insults", with capital letters. I suggest that there is no such thing. Instead, we have a mess of people who may read a post and feel insulted. Mods cannot remove Edition Insults. Mods can only remove those things in their judgement might be taken as insulting - my "possible offenses". I don't usually moderate based on the content of a sentence alone. I try to take the rest of the post and discussion context into account as well. Right now people are really touchy - virtually anything on the subject is likely to be taken as insulting. What starts a fight now would not have raised an eyebrow a couple weeks ago. [/QUOTE]
