I understand your point and think that we all need to try to have thicker skin while also avoiding attacking the person rather than the idea being communicated. I am asking everybody to use the ignore feature for contributors that annoy them and to avoid insults and name calling. The fact that both right wing folks and left wing folks have complained that I have been favoring the other side makes me think that I might be being fair. To the extent that I make errors in throwing flags, they will likely be too few flags thrown --- that should not be interpreted as an invitation to behave badly.
