Your words scare me, you shouldn't go too far. As a high ranking editor, you need to know when to draw the line. We here to work, not to embarrass others. I've matured a lot in the last few years enough to know my actions as a bureaucrat weren't well done, but you've always had this issue that sometimes translates to "in order to deal with a cut on a finger, you need to chainsaw the whole arm off".

I don't mean to be rude, just expressing my disapproval of several responses you've made here. Even when I held the position, you made me cautious that I had given the title to you at times... :-/

I understand your concern, but from where I hail from, it's the only thing that works. Of course I can compromise if I see the would-be offender is willing to change. It's the stubborn ones that get the sharp edge.
