I too completely agree with Michael.

It looks like we should relax more, lighten up and differentiate between posts that really come under the category of offensive.

Otherwise there is a danger that the group starts to feel quite oppressive and doesn't encourage free and open speech.

Just my opinion and I sympathize with anyone with the job of moderator as it can't be an easy one!
