I have noticed in the PT forum some admins tend to 'pick apart' posts they don't aggree with for no other reason than they can find a reason to. They also come accross as very confrontational while doing so. Unfortunately, this adds to the 'aggressivenes' of the forum. When posters see mods responding in a confrontational way it only gives them more license to be overly aggressive.
As an example take the response to an OP I presented.
Do you have an aversion to commas, other than lists, or do you not know where they go?
Considering how long your OP is, it would be nice if you provided appropriate punctuation for smoother reading.
Let me know when you're done.
Why not just say? "Considering how long your OP is, it would be nice if you provided appropriate structure for smoother reading." Why begin with an introductory snide remark that is condescending?
After re-reading my OP I aggree my paragraph structure could have been better partitioned and I did in fact edit the post. I just find it odd that admins think it is best to respond in a way which is likely to provoke a negative response. You see this quite often in the PT forum. The debate itself is heated enough. Do we need more flames to fan the fire?
Just offering up some observations. I am not trying to insult anyone. It's your forum and you can operate it however you like.
