What led me to think that he did indeed have a particular issue on his mind was the following:

>> If you don't understand this line, or the purpose of this line, you need to PM me to discuss privately.

> He was making a clear statement of his expectations of the members of this board.

It isn't very clear when the issue isn't articulated. Instead people are left wondering what the issue is about... Or they may simply take it to be about one thing when really it is about another...

I think I understand what this is about now, though of course I don't know for sure. I guess the only way I would know for sure would be if I were to PM him and ask him.

> To me that means no argument, no discussion. It is what it is.

Yes, that was the conclusion I jumped to. But on another reading... He allowed that some of this goes on here and he doesn't seem to be objecting to that so much as saying that the main aim of the site (support) takes priority.
