This being GQ, how about if everyone tones it back a bit? Please, feel free to open a Pit or GD thread for the debate, and return this discussion to the question in the OP.

No individual mod notes or warnings issued (yet).

Thanks, folks.

I checked thread history and posting history and can’t find any sign of posts that went away (deleted posts leave fingerprints mods can track, so I know they weren’t deleted). No idea what’s going on, but this one survived.
