It is a difficult enterprise that recently was made even more difficult by a notable deterioration in the level of discourse at this site. This was something we had to confront--and confronting it was not something we enjoyed, but we determined our actions to be necessary for the integrity and future of the site.

I think this is mealy mouthed and unworthy of a site and a group of people who normally deal with unpleasant facts straight on.

You banned Hothgor, dmathew1, and Freddy Hutter because they were clogging up the comments with rubbish. A good move, and I congratulated you on the decision earlier. So why not just come out and announce it rather than dancing around the subject with a bunch of candyass prose? If I wanted obfuscation I'd read the mainstream press.

Love you guys, but couldn't let this pass.

thank you for comment. as the mealy-mouthed candyass who wrote it, I will express my appreciation of your attempted compliment and move on.
