Leadership is recognizing a problem and addressing it before it becomes an emergency. Kudos to psychiatrists Dr. Rudy and Dr. Das for their insight and wisdom engaging the Bullies and the Membership in a civil dialog about unacceptable behavior and enabling the 99% of the Good members of this awesome site to feel comfortable declaring their disapproval of the Bullies' destructive behavior when they see it.
The end of the rude, judgmental self-aggrandizing self appointed Police, running roughshod over the Membership, is in sight. This Board is now moving upward to the next level.
The Bullies of the Board are dissolving - reminiscent of the line from the "Land of Oz" - spoken by the Wicked Witch of the West: "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! You cursed brat! Look what you've done!! I'm melting, melting. ..."

Oh, how naive... all that is happening is a shift of power and one day every single one of us will undoubtedly fall under an axe of the hungry incumbent. But I digress. My point was going to be that the Germans mobilized against the Jews due to a perceived threat as well - you should really "smell things before biting into them". Oh, and if you consider this post bullying, I apologize - it was not my intention at all. Bullying and presenting an opposing point of view are hardly the same thing. And calling someone a "bully" for presenting a valid argument is a Gestapo tactic... no wonder so much "self-appointed Police" is roaming the forum, then.

Frank, what kind of bait were you using? Based on it's success, we may need to create a special forum and use it as chum to keep them from "circling" over in the other, more normal forums...
What we need is a chum bucket
