And I indeed thought he (Dorian) was trying to be lighthearted, after all the heavy stuff earlier; but, I suspect had the comment been directed at me that I would have felt it's barb a little more directly.

But I do have a question for those old time FTer's: "if there were such problems way back when (a year or so ago), why haven't there been all sorts of similar problems more recently, and why isn't the recent lack thereof sufficient indication that things are/were really ok over here?"

Also, if the original problems had to do with flare-ups over abusive & offensive posts, why/how does that issue get mixed up and combined with the relatively harmless issue of off topic posts? (Actually, for many of us, moving/closing posts is more harmful than allowing them to flourish.)
