We're really not like that . . .

No, that's not typically what officials do. What's typical usually takes two routes:

#1) Opinion is posted. Responses on one side and then the other are given. The tide shifts one way, then the other, then usually settles on a reliable, trustworthy conclusion. Awaiting the end of this process often yields a valuable reward, though not always in agreement with the original poster.
#2) Opinion is posted. Response differing from the opinion of the poster is given. Original poster reacts instantly. Sensing the blood in the water, other responders pile on. Poster reacts again and again and again, wondering how and why anyone can possibly differ from his originally expressed opinion. Original poster stomps away, mad at the world and everyone on the forum.

Seems as though that one route was chosen, with the predictable outcome foreseeable. And so you have it.
