For the record, I personally was never threatened with physical violence. I was told I should be banned, thrown off the website, and that I was stupid (among the milder appellations), but not physically threatened. I'm sure, to this day, the person who was most rabid about my dismissal has the misconception that the name calling is what caused me to leave my spot, but it was something I had decided long before. It just seems sad that some people act like bullies.

On the other hand, there are coordinators and moderators here that do an excellent job and obviously have a good relationship with the community. I have had the honor to work with many of them, and I find them very thoughtful people who are sincere about trying to do a good job. What I wish is that people would think before they attack...but if wishes were horses, I'd be cleaning a mighty big stable out right now.
