Is "Don't be curmudgeonly" a new addition? I don't remember that one before.

Indeed it is! Comments seem way too curmudgeonly lately.

You're really kicking against the goads with this one.

Dang, with all due respect, this comment was really not that bad. You are too heavy handed

As a late observer, equally respectfully, it very likely wasn't dang's hand that downvoted and or flagged your comment.

You're responding to an after action review comment by moderator as to what might have caused the flag.


I know it sucks to get scolded by a mod, and it's not my wish to make anyone feel bad.
