I don't think it's fair to say to anyone who objects to inconsistency that the perception is (and what it implies) that that one is not part of the club and is therefore jealous or touchy on the subject.

The comment seemed to me (and no it doesn't matter WHO you are) to be The Great Snark 2010, based on what other things have transpired. I was willing to let it go until you brought in crybaby. I suppose if one of those who don't much like me decides to stab me in the eye, I should not say something like "that wasn't very nice" because it might seem as though I'm pointing out some kind of "club." Again, I dont' give a flying rat's rump about any club. If the subject of a kinder gentler cellar has arisen, then inconsistencies will surface, and people should be free to point that out. Otherwise, the way is being paved for those clubs you keep speaking of, and the stage is set for no kind of discussion at all.

What inconsistency Shaw? Who is held accountable for things others aren't, and how?

The comment seemed to me to be consistent with the tone and content of the original post.

I'm certainly not discounting your opinion here...I just don't see that at all! And I certainly don't see how the subsequent comment got the crybaby comment.

Eh, I'm the snarker and the snarkee, in turns.

But, I thought others have been unhappy with how things were going?

So, to snark or not to snark. That is the question.

I AM WOMAN. HEAR ME SNARK.

Snark-a-doodle dooooo!

(This is all meant to be humorous.)

Because, rather than keep it light and funny, somebody CHOSE to cry out "MOMMY, MOMMY, THE BULLY IS TEASING ME--SEE WHAT HE DID THERE?!" Sure sounds like a ƒucking crybaby to me. Was there some other way I could have read that?

Right. We have different perceptions of the same events. Happens all the time. So I think maybe what you see as inconsistencies is really your expectation that people will respond to things according to your perception, instead of theirs. It's not that you missed the meeting where the responses were planned.
