well, i am a recent moderator, but here i am speaking as a simple user.
i find the friendly and non-aggressive ambiance of mr to be one of its most appreciable features. as many mods and members have already said (including recently, in this thread), this is largely thanks to the members, who also seem to appreciate that for the majority of them, and do their best to maintain it.
if occasionnally someone seems to enjoy antagonism for the sake of antagonism, the mods are there to remind them that, well, this is not the place for that sort of behaviour.
that's their job. if you think it's unacceptable to be reminded of the usually tacit rules of politeness and respectful discussion around here, then you can really easily avoid it by keeping to a respectful tone yourself. if you really feel the need to be antagonistic, there are lots of other forums where it seems to be the accepted modus operandi, and i encourage you to get it out of your system on whichever of them you please.
