i agree with secret, without a concrete example of what the op is referring to, i have to answer general sense. i don't see a lot of outright flaming, nor any increase in outright flaming, recently. i definitely would rather err on the side of giving too much leeway to posters and let the users either filter out or ignore posts they find offensive, rather than have an antiseptic conversation where real opinions aren't expressed because of fear of reprisal. i know the op wants to be anonymous, which is fine...but perhaps some sort of example would be useful. otherwise, i really just speak your mind. if you think someone is out of line, simply tell them. some people pm them, i do it publicly in the thread.
edit: additionally, this reminds me of the "what's wrong with tfp" / "C:A" threads of a few months ago, so i'll reiterate my personal opinion that i would hate to see this place overrun by patty cake talk and abject unnecessary pussification, and i know/strongly suspect that it has already cost at least one long-time member whose posts i will definitely miss.
