Nice story, but if Edward is a manager in your analogy, then all of us are managers as we are all users of this site and members of MAAST. We all post threads and responses to them just as Edward did. As with your story, the "umpires" could have responded a little better to the issues with Edward and Kaiser.

Anyway, I believe everyone calmed down and the situation was addressed. With 3000 on-line users, all with different personalities there will always be some conflicts here and there, just a matter of responding to them in a positive manner. It's not always easy, I know I got into some good arguments back when I was a BOD!
