Where in that thread was anyone harassed? xD I actually agreed with the staff, and was just using it as an excuse to make fun of Shlup. Although I did think there was a worthwhile debate there over at what point it's a disservice to EoFF to ban an otherwise active and worthwhile member and the general worth of clear-cut rules versus broader rules that allow for discretion, which I brought up slightly more seriously later (and brought up even more seriously in this competition, here and in the double posting thread). I'm not entirely sure I buy my own arguments from that thread, but I was playing a bit of devil's advocate as I thought about the removal of any auto bans.
The way you were talking about flak, you were acting like the members would never forgive the staffer. I just think that's completely unrealistic.
