I didn't see anything inflamatory about the latest comment.
And, as I already noted, neither did I. But the fact is, I posted that same story on my LJ at the same time, and they could've easily come over and said the same thing to me there. What other point would there be to making a comment in a Will-centric community that pointedly excludes Will - other than making the point "You don't matter"? It wouldn't work on my personal LJ, because it's general commentary/blogging.
Anyway, I just want to throw up a roadblock that says "Whoa, watch how you behave" before it gets to a point where we've become a doormat. I've seen this happen on a couple of mailing lists before, when the mods had an open-door policy and were stomped all over by trolls - when, if they'd nipped it in the bud, it wouldn't have become the sort of problem that ended up disbanding the mailing list (which one of them did).
