I think sometimes they're effective, with certain people. Perhaps even most people. In this case, there was already apparently some tension between Chris and some of the other posters, which I wonder if the other mods were aware of. It takes some creativity, and honestly, I know we all have lives and trying to figure out a shrewd way to handle a skirmish on an Internet message forum is probably not real high on most people's list of priorities. You do what you can. Sometimes it turns out to be the smart thing to do, and sometimes not.
