It feels like you're treating the the thread posters as a disappointed teacher would. The thread is unfortunately not as insightful and deep as it could be (because come on, we're just a bunch of assholes on a dead website) and it is your burden as a mod to raise the quality. It is a patronizing and elitist attitude to have, and in your position as a volunteer forum mod on the internet, it's probably not entirely wrong, but I think it sends the wrong message. People shouldn't be afraid to I'm going to disagree with (some of) this, not necessarily on your idea of how moderation should communicate , but what moderation should aspire to do. There's a diverse group of people on this forum with very interesting backgrounds and experiences. There are a lot of people who don't post often, but when they do, wow, the quality is there. There's been some great examples of that in this thread. One of my favourite sources of information is AskHistorians on Reddit, which has far stricter moderation policies than here, and a far higher quality of information. Stuffing whatever information you come across into your brain will have exactly the same effect as stuffing your face with McDonalds every day. Quality matters. People shoudn't be afraid to post, and there's a good balance to be had with moderation where people should feel able to ask questions and be able to test their opinions. However people just spurting out opinions because they're an intelligent person with a pulse is, IMO, a plague on society. Just because someone is intelligent, that doesn't mean they have the experience and depth of knowledge to judge and understand a situation.
