**[Moderating]**

First off: **WordMan** , you can’t call people twits (or any other insult) outside of the Pit. The only reason this isn’t a Warning is because you reported it yourself, which shows contrition.

Second, I haven’t read through the whole thread, but from what I’ve skimmed, most of the “negative tone” in this thread seems to be coming from you. Since this seems to be a topic that’s raising your ire, I’m instructing you to not participate any further in this thread. It’s possible that others are also contributing to a negative tone: If so, report those specific posts, and I’ll deal with them also.
