To my memory, that was the most salient example. You may not realize it, but particularly for a non-moderator, any time a mod chews you out, it's intimidating. I'm not going to attempt to bring up further examples as the point is not to single out particular people. This is just a personal impression, but the mods as a whole have been on edge lately, resulting in unusually many 'angry' responses. I'm just worried about the trend, and, I think it would lead to a better forum if, instead of angry responses, cool diplomacy occurred more frequently.
