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.

Indeed. I've questioned coming here due to this thread. I know it's only a forum, only opinions, words on a screen, nothing serious, and I agree, but ugly displays make it a less enjoyable place to be. I come here to share and discover music and have a little fun. What went on in this thread makes it less fun and surely drives/keeps people away. I don't expect public displays of compassion from everyone over every little thing but a little humanity isn't too much to ask.
