In my opinion, what went wrong went wrong years ago when there was a fractious yet somewhat thriving community, certainly lots of people, and the style of moderation aggravated rather than soothed some of he distress from these arguments. As you would recall. Once that community went it was not so easy to get it back, success breeding success. We are a tribal lot generally, here too, which doesn't help.
What Bob is trying now seems fine, better than version no 2 (that is since I have been here) though if it had been tried earlier there might have been more to save.
