More like we were trying to cut down on flame wars by nipping them in the bud. We've been getting lots of complaints about them, and to my eyes they seem to be a little out of hand as well.

But our efforts to quell them haven't worked, and they have engendered a backlash and given people opportunity to claim that we are biased one way or another.

Oh well, it is a neverending learning process.

I wasn't going after you when I said that. I appologize if you took it that way. I think you guys do as good a job as is humanly possible. If I were doing the job I'd have people on my back. It's a thankless job no human can do perfectly. The less you guys have to do the better. But you're the judge of that and I accept that. Hey, carping is a thankless job too ya know! LOL

It's not a huge jump in logic to claim bias when the "whiner" graphic stays and the "vacuum lady" graphic gets deleted. I see some fair moderator corrected that oversight.
