No need to overmoderate analog, we all know the rules and youve warned us in the prvious threads as well. We are well aware of your presence and eagerness of enforcing the rules. I, as most, wont be giving any trouble

The point was that, rather than going and talking about the subject at hand, you complained that the subject was even up for discussion, giving a laundry list of other things you'd rather see discussed first. That's just unnecessary. That's not on-topic, that's trolling the thread starter because you don't like the subject matter.
As for overmoderation, I hardly think advising people against trolling, whether or not you ultimately agree with me, is overmoderation. At all. I'm just steering the discourse in the direction we all want it- respectful. Overmoderation would be giving you a warning for it, or a temp ban. I don't have an eagerness to enforce rules; I wish you all could get along so we wouldn't have to watch this forum like parents watch a toddler in a china shop- but we DO have to watch you all, and my eagerness is to see that all the members feel comfortable posting in the forums, and that people are not being flamed for voicing their opinions.
Thanks,
