A very interesting article with implications for forgiveness and Ahavas Yisroel. slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/…

גמר חתימה טובה to everyone.

@Yodeyans We at the mod team know that many people's feelings ride on decisions we make, and though we do try to resolve any issues that come our way in a manner which is acceptable to both the community and the users involved, we are sure that some users may unfortunately feel slighted or hurt. We apologize sincerely for any such feelings we may have caused. Please trust that we are only trying to do the best we can, which as humans, is not always so great.

May the upcoming year bring us more fun questions, deep discussions, and informative answers which is what brings us all back to Mi Yodeya each day. Gemar Chatimah Tovah!

@DoubleAA Amen!

@DoubleAA On behalf of myself and to the extent that I may do so on behalf of the rest of the civilian community:

Thank you very much for another year of caring and careful stewardship. I apologize for any times that I have added unnecessarily to your workload, such as through frivolous flagging, for any times that I have necessitated clean-up activities from you due to insufficiently-considered steps I have taken, and for any times that I have involved you in unpleasant arguments; and I request your forgiveness.

There's a discussion in comments here. We've gotten some flags asking that it be moved to chat. Mods can't do that (only under certain circumstances, which haven't been met), so we would have to manually paste them into a room, which anybody else could do just as easily. If anybody is interested in doing that please do, link the room in a comment, & flag the post pointing it out so we can clean up. Ping @Shokhet (nobody else there has been here).
