That is true, but I do also note how the conversations here turn personal much more quickly than they do on the other site. I will also say that compared to a certain auto board that I frequent, both of these sites are like the wild west. The mods on that site accept no BS at all and proactively step in if things get too heated (with no prompting). IMHO,
balanced and fair moderation is valuable at keeping the dialogue productive. Have a clear set of rules, make the rules known and enforce them consistently.
