That said I don't see the value in tit for tatting the morals and manners as independently perceived by each member. The community spoke that the behavior was innapropriate, the moderator agreed there was a concern and posted a request to communicate in a more appropriate manner and to me, that seems that should be that.
Personally, I felt this thread was started as a response to ALL MEMBERS of the YT community and not any particular "side". It should be taken in by EVERYONE and not some particular imaginary group of bullying members. If there were certain members that needed to be addressed directly then it would have been done.

My perception of what Ann posted was more like knock off the bickering kids and get along.
