Peter, you've never come across as having a vendetta to me, we share the same philosophy in the sense of not chasing folks away for their opinions and ideas with aggressive retorts.
Many are passionate of the games, but they let their passion get in the way of positive debate and disallow any diversity or open minded acceptance on their own part, anyone who joins the topic daring to be different or not as understanding, gets the impatient and often aggressive side of someone, that's when we get the "Pile on" buzzer and the debate ends with a few sparring sides taking over and ruining the experience.
I always felt if you can't contribute in a positive non-cynical manner, don't respond. As adults, posters know what should and should not be posted, If you can't say it to the person in front of your face, why did you even go there.
My moderation style upset a few folks because I treated violators as they treated others, and a lot of them just never got it. Club better or worse for it? Hard to say.. Games are still being played, but the posting is wary, simply for the matter of fear retaliation and most folks just can't be arsed anymore to try and discuss something when they already know the outcome.
