This is going to come across as completely smartass, but it's (semi-) serious. There's been a trend lately of contentiousness in the grammar forum and more than one mod has wondered what it is about grammar that makes so many writers so volatile. Why is it the citizens of AW are able to go into the CE forum and discuss issues that inspire so much raw emotion in real life -- such as abortion, homosexual marriage, the US participation in Iraq -- while remaining largely calm and rational and self-policing, but in a discussion about the proper use of ellipses and the em-dash, there'd better be a mod on hand to intervene?
