Nah, Just a comment from someone who spent his pre-adult web life as a Community Developer and spoke frequently at conferences on the subject. (see my chapter in Design For Community or google Jeffrey Zeldman's interview with me online)

Running a community is HARD. And is especially difficult in the "special" environment of GFY, where anarchy must find peace with civility. And rudeness must balance with libel.

I applaud the GFY mods for the efforts with this herculean task, and their success in balancing community needs, business needs, and a barrelful of EGO rich personalities.

Is it perfect? Hell no. But there is no such thing as a perfect parent, either. You do the best you can with what you got.
