Why is it so much more civil over here on Agon?

A member on another forum site asked an honest question, check out his question and some of the responses. Is it because of the moderators here on Audiogon, or is it because the members here would not put up with it?
Was I justified in giving my response? I have no idea what the follow up response will be.

Because of the format, threads come and go more swiftly on AA and have a greater initial burst of responses. I see no other difference.

I don't think it is. I think the format of AA causes threads to drop out of sight rapidly discourages long threads. However, the format allows diatribes between two AA members which encourages incivility. The moderators here do remove entire threads that get contentious and on AA this is less common and more visible as the moderator posts that it has been moved to a more "appropriate" site.
