Obviously, I was cranky when I woke up today. Seeing my family (celebrating my grandma's 85th birthday) has put me in a better mood. RBabbitt, I'm not going to go searching for a reason to ban you.
However, everyone here on this board should take Rock's comments to heart. Our first few weeks moderating, we have been very lenient. I can think off the top of my head four posters (2 from each side of the aisle) that have pushed the envelope enough that I might have warned/banned them if I were being a hardass.
It was our genuine hope that simply having moderators would convince people to behave better. It now appears that hope was in vain. Don't be surprised if we start deleting more posts this week, or even start handing out more official warnings.
