I... didn't entirely understand either of those last two posts, to the extent they were responsive to what I said.
Anyhow, I was just trying to say: uncivil, hot-headed criticism's going to be dealt with, yes? Whether it's hot-headed criticism (aka attacks) of a regluar member or of staff. Yes? (I don't really know what your 'ways of dealing with' people are. I just mentioned temp and permabans as sort of industry standard, so to speak, of forum disciplinary actions.)
I guess I'm unclear on whether there's policy for ban on *civil* criticism of mods. If there is, I think there was some merit in the OP bringing it up. If there's not, I don't undersand why there should be any special rules that mention criticism of mods.
