There's also a more silent effect. When I saw what was going on in this thread, I had the gut reaction of not wanting to use this site again, even though I'm here to talk about music. It's not enjoyable, and it certainly wasn't beneficial to the discussion. It's a music forum, so I'm not expecting high intellectual discourse. At the same time, one has to question if they want to be around the type of environment where a bunch of losers make jokes about a serious incident that just happened, without a shred of dignity, and it's OK and/or a regular thing. I've felt the mod team get involved too quickly before and I'll also not be a part of an over-moderated site, but the mods were right on this one.
