I disagree. Cei asked questions that no one was answering. When they attempted to change the topic he continually brought it back to his original questions.
This is pretty much all I want to respond to as others have made awesome points/brought up things I saw/heard/agree and disagree with.
Cei asked questions, sure.
But Cei was also being inappropriate in jumping *every* person who made so much as a comment to the list no matter what it was. I likely could have said "I like hot dogs" and he would have started an argument about why hot dogs are terrible. There was no need for the level of downward spiral his answers took and that truly in the end was why it was moderated. We can't have a civil discourse if people are only going to attack one another, we've said this time and time again. You know that best, I think, from forum experience. That is the main reason for the moderation - not that we could not engage, but that we could not engage if we could do nothing but be unnecessarily coarse and destructive to the conversation. Cei has an overwhelming personality at times and will hone in when a cooler head and a break from playing keyboard commando would prevail.

And that's coming from me :]
