Saying it's a silly term from the perspective of English speakers is a valid reason for one to argue why it won't catch on. That's calling the term silly. Now if he's going around saying the people using it are silly, then fine you can say that's a personal attack I suppose. But I didn't see much of that from him.

But he said he was going to do it, and she said that doing it was trolling. I don't see the problem here.

It just seems the modding is pretty un-even on this site. There were much more blatant personal attacks that went barely dealt with in the Apple forum for quite a while. Apparently some action was finally taken, though I was shocked no one was banned for it. Guess I shouldn't be as I didn't even get ban when I asked for my account to be banned after getting a deserved suspension for insulting someone!
In short, the mods on this site need to gain some consistency and grow a pair and actually ban some people as the level of discourse on this site frankly stinks at times. Part of it's just the international make up I think, as I've never found a hugely international forum site that worked out well. Anyone know of a good American centered e-readrer forum site?

There's only one overriding problem here at MobileRead, but I can't discuss it in public.
