This is off the original topic, but it is an appropriate place to make this comment.
Clever banter is fine, even when there is a disagreement, but disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. When the posts become toxic, the result will be points being assessed. No one but the offender will know who has received points until the offender accumulates enough points for "BANNED" to appear as their status on ECCIE. Other offenders' point status is known only between the offender and the moderators.
Everyone, please take a deep breath when another person posts hostile comments, especially when it is someone known for trying to provoke others. Avoid being drawn in. I know it can be difficult - believe me, I know.
Now, let's play nice.

PS: Nearly all moderators moderate more than one board. I share duties on four boards. Most of us don't need additional duties, so as long as I have a say, short notice availability will not be approved on the boards I moderate. The consensus is that it is either not used much or is abused as another opportunity to post ads. Sorry, I don't need the extra work.
