Thanks Austin; thanks Brion.

I think, after waiting a few days to separate it from this particular
discussion, it will be useful to have a conversation on this list
about moderation styles and methods, and facilitation techniques that
we could use to have more constructive conversations. Just as we do on
the wiki through the development of guidelines and policies, it makes
sense to me that we try to improve our methods of public discussion
over time.
