Great scott, that was the most horrible thing I've seen in [livejournal.com profile] davis_square in a long time. It's like coming home to discover a steaming turd in the middle of your kitchen floor. (And you don't have any pets.)

This is a compliment to the mods that the turds stand out so much, rather than being part of the background noise like-certain-communities-I-could-name, but I still feel like it shouldn't have gotten as far as it did. Wrote a mod about it.

(Started to mention TNH-style moderation tactics in my email, for I am a fan of them, but then had second thoughts. I'm not convinced that they apply in the case of every active internet community. It's an interesting question.)

UH, which post are you referring to? I don't remember seeing anything particularly offensive on DS today, but perhaps I am not reading as closely as you are.

Oh... the yoga one. See above comments on this post for further thoughts.

I don't feel like direct-linking to it because I am having enough tattletale issues with this as it is, and it's not that big a deal in the whole whirling world. As with all such issues I've cooled off a lot about it after a few hours of thinking about puppies and flowers &c. (As I can only hope the instigators have as well.)
