Acid Tongued

Tell me about it. I'm still get emails about it, and I know I've probably caused some people to make it a point to not review any of my items, regardless of rating.

You mean angry emails? I haven't gotten any of those, although I did get into a discussion last night about it with The StoryMaster.

Yes, the Mod made a huge mistake, but we shouldn't be angry at him/her. He/she is not paid; he/she is a volunteer who was making a sincere effort to try to keep Writing.Com a safe and welcoming place, even though, in the process, he/she made Writing.Com a completely unwelcoming place for one person. The Moderator did not act maliciously, but out of ignorance. If we blame anyone or anything, it should be society.

Even if we want to say that this Mod "started" the fiasco, it was up to Islander to end it. If he had just gone into the Content Rating Support forum and made his case, there would have been no problem, and none of this would have gotten out into the general community. However, Islander decided to take the opportunity to launch into a tirade against all of Writing.Com, despite the fact that everything had been remedied. And then Word Warrior launched into a tirade against Islander, despite the fact that he was already gone. Yes, it got blown way out of proportion, but that's how Islander made it.
