Don't overreact. The person you replied to was just expressing frustration with a "sordid saga" and questioned when it will end.

It's totally legitimate to feel that way. Conflating it with "stifling" and "limiting" discussion, then suggesting it has a dubious intentions. That's a little dramatic.

Sorry, I wasn't saying that he was stifling or had dubious intentions - I am saying in general, if one is too oft complaining, this could be construed...

So, don't overreact to my comment either :-)

It wasn't as heated as may have seemed.

The next unicorn idea is to be able to accurately convey the tone of a sentiment via text.... maybe all text should be "mood text" and have a font color demonstrating the tone/mood it was written in ;-)

That's not a bad idea. We'll just have to write like those LARP people.

thieving_magpie ponders, then blushes. Slowly looking up he whispers "Good idea sam".
