I don't think you understood my point, Dan. You're not engaged in de-escalation, but in validating whoever goes low first by picking on the person who points out their behavior.
It's essentially the same as putting the blame for a schoolyard fight on the person who threw the last punch rather than the one who initiated the conflict. It creates an incentive for people to talk negatively knowing that the consequences of any conflict are more likely to fall upon those who challenge the negative behavior.
You're a good moderator but I've seen you do this many times (>10) and I'd like you to think about that.
