There really needs to be some moderation

I don't see any foul or abusive language in the post bachmeier 
quoted, nor did bachmeier say that was his concern, so we weren't 
talking about that.

These are two new users who are unhappy with the state of D and 
unfortunately larding a lot of attitude into their complaints, 
which is why I've largely ignored them.  That may be accepted if 
they're paying up the butt to use D, but they're getting it for 
free, so why deal with their entitlement and potentially escalate 
the situation?

But even if there were foul or abusive language, which we may 
disagree on whether the posts in this thread qualify as, I'd only 
consider the extreme measures cited after repeated warning, as 
such removals are then often abused to silence criticism.  We may 
not like the strong way they worded it, but post deletion and the 
banhammer should really be reserved for extreme situations.  I 
don't think this qualifies.
