Tell me again what the first mod posted in this topic?

Not every mod post in this thread was helpful, and the first dude was snarky, but the next mod post was:

Yeah, disputes have been like that for a while. The only time you ever get a response in the dispute form now, is if you lose your dispute privileges through grievous abuse of the system. It even states when you go to dispute that you will not get a response for any reason, as well.

Which struck me as an open and communicative comment. And I feel like Caelthus' comments after this one were made in good faith, too - even when the topic started getting derailed.

I'm not trying to be a nuthugger here - I saw this post and I thought it was constructive and respectful of the topic, and the only thing that came from that correspondance before I made my initial post is that Gobstoppers and a similarly minded user tried to chase that one helpful mod up a tree over a bunch of self-righteous "who watches the watchers" horse crap.

This bugged me because it lowered the chance of TC getting a response to his query from someone who was equipped and willing to discuss it. Dude had a legitimate query and was chill about it, as opposed to the usual suspects making threads like "I guess it's WRONG to post FACTS now!" when they were moderated for something like posting a "Michelle Obama is Transgender" conspiracy video. I thought it was stupid that other users would try to waste TC's opportunity on a bunch of self-lionizing bigger picture stuff that's all about them.

LightningAce is a cool guy, and it was just fucking annoying to see users overrun his thread like that.
