I have comparable experience, though I do not consider myself a skilled facilitator or negotiator. Perhaps your heart is in the right place, I'm just not sure that place is where your words are coming from.
And yes, I agree. Words matter. The more important the matter, the more important the words.
Thank you. Your candor is appreciated, by me if by no one else.
(ETA: And you just invoked a straw man. I was questioning your expertise in relation to knowing how our moderation process might work based on your own, analogous experience. You better not try to 'negotiate' with us via this thread or you may run afoul of the law. [pun intended])
(ETA2: And despite, perhaps, earlier impressions, you are managing to contribute constructive criticism and suggestion, just next time, I would suggest, say it with flowers. The other approach works, but not necessarily from within a context of power relationships similar to those here.)
