I don't have issue with any of what you have said and on the odd occasion when you may have forgotten the qualifers I would assume they were there, I suppose it is because I would judge any comment based on the track record of you posts.  We all have bad days or days when we do not choose the right words to say what we are trying to say.  There are also many for who English is not their first language.  There are however others who have a completely different track record of being unhelpful and quite honestly rude and downright arrogant which does the forum no good at all.  

It is a very small minority, I only have 2 members of my 'ignore' list at present, not because I disagree with their veiwpoints but I have yet to see anything positive they have brought to the forum which, by definion means it is all negative.  The ignore button for me has had a major impact but it is a shame that it is needed at all.

As to balance, yet again I agree, the mods have an impossible task and their balance will often be seen by others as stifiling comment.  All I can say is that I am so very glad that someone is brave or crazy enough to do the job.

"I am so very glad that someone is brave or crazy enough to do the job."

At Thermopylae, Leonidas defended Sparta with a mere 300 warriors. And we expect Shane to do something equally as unlikely all alone. Brave and crazy, indeed. :) (And Basicwiz should get veteran's benefits for all the battles he's been in.)

Yes, everyone has bad days. And, hell, I'm a native speaker of English, and I write unclearly with alarming frequency. But, yes, your use of the ignore button makes very good sense.
