Three things:

1) If all you've got to say about a story is complaints about formatting or mechanical parts of the writing, like paragraphing, punctuation or spelling, don't do it publicly. Send such critical comments as PMs, that is EXACTLY why PMs are provided here. Click on Write to Author instead of Add Comment. There are two reasons for this. The first is most important, beating someone up in public may be fun but it ain't friendly and if you read the terms of service here at the top of the front page it says, "A friendly place...". The second reason is that you look an utter prat if someone fixes things and posts the improved version right over the top of the old one. Serves you right probably. :)

2) Don't make policy change suggestions that take away something from someone else in public without discussing them with me ahead of time. And if you have discussed them with me, and I said no, don't go ahead and make such an unfriendly suggestion in public anyway. You can't go over my head to anyone else 'cause the buck stops here.

3) If someone makes a political post and you feel the need to answer it, don't keep beating the horse you rode in on after you have made your point. That's basically starting an argument and a violation of the TOS mentioned above. Let other people have their say without a second round of public refutation from you and take it up with them privately if you feel the need.

Hugs to all, even people I am slightly annoyed with at the moment, :)
