I don't agree with every policy or practice here, but then, I'm just a very minor moderator. And there is no unilateral agreement on tolerance; you probably have no idea how often I've gritted my teeth over some moderation inaction-- and I tend to be pretty tolerant.

I have a lot of thoughts on this subject but this is one of those cases where most of them ARE better left private.
