Yeah, it's depressing to me. I've migrated from active LJ community to active community, so many of them now dead, and every time the events precipitating the community's collapse had largely to do with capricious over-moderation. Convert_me. Philosophy. I expect that's what we're seeing in T_P right now. You mix up the pH balance with too much moderation of substance, and people just drop the community and move on.
Jeff complains about all of the "insults," but the alternative isn't some orderly community where everyone limits their comments to careful reasoning and careful refutations.
