You're both reading way too much into my post, but that's neither here no there.
Frankly, the initial incident has been blown way out of proportion and turned into a much bigger problem than it ever was. Anyone who avoids posting links from a fear of the same thing happening to them is over-reacting to what at best was a mistake, and at worst a lapse of temper. We're all human, and that includes moderators. They're allowed to make mistakes, same as everyone else.
Don't you think it's possible that the moderators are reading this thread and noticing the reactions, and realizing that the initial snap reaction was a mistake? If you genuinely meant what you said about granting others the benefit of doubt and assume that they have good intentions, you have to be willing to extend that way of thinking to the moderator team as well.
With that, I think I'll bow out of this thread. I can tell I'm starting to offend you (or have been for a while now), and since none of us will ever convince the other to change their mind, we might as well drop this before it risks escalating.
It's been a very enjoyable discussion, so thank you for that.
