A certain amount of the curmudgeon factor is inevitable, just part of the human condition. But sometimes the rhetorical habits of members here feed on each other to derail threads and make for an unfriendly environment. We (moderator team) do worry about that and wrestle with finding the right balance of moderation to keep that under control without being too heavy-handed and while keeping our burden within what we can handle.
