I encourage everyone at Academia to take a look at the proposed Day of Silence which some frustrated StackExchange participants will be observing for 24 hours, starting tonight at midnight (Eastern Standard time). You may want to join this action (inaction) as a way of supporting Eykanal and other moderators who are similarly taking a break from moderating.
For additional information about what's going on, please see Summing up the main issues (The Story So Far).
