As an observer who has been entirely guilty of being poisonly dramatic 
on other fedora-lists, but who has hopefully matured, I have to agree 
with this.  On the other hand I also have to say that Dag's responses 
were equivalently thoughtless in regard to actually building up the 
community, instead of just inciting KS to dig deeper into his position.

On the other other hand, that doesn't mean I think those 'thoughtless' 
comments were wrong.  I.e. if KS really does feel that strongly, 
moderation is the real answer that would facilitate a community without 
these sorts of non-productive, community-poisoning heal-digging-in drama 
fests.
