I wouldn't classify my suggestion to remove the feature in it's entirety an "overreaction" only a possible solution to what some see as a potential problem. As I said, I didn't give the questionable "tags" much thought however if these "tags" are causing other members angst then maybe Hex should consider removing the feature.

I personally don't see a problem but for those who do see a problem, removing the ability to "tag" threads is a possible solution, not an "overreaction" in my opinion.
