I'll bite.

1) I think it stood out more noticably because the threads were easily distinguished, but I don't know how much activity actually rose. Having said that, I haven't been online for most of the day, but from what I did see, that would be my assesment
2) No, it wasn't increased, although it was more concentrated in Feedback than normal. I didn't actually post in any language threads, because I'm too lazy to use a translator that frequently. I didn't spend more time on cB, or post notably more, although the discussion about cBWLD did draw much of my focus.
3) Wrong about what? I still think the use of foreign languages should be restricted in some manner, mainly to official threads. I don't think anyone was wrong to express their opinions, that in fact being the purpose of the Feedback forum. Also, as a sidenote, why is this a Mod only question? Is it completely infeasible for someone not on staff to have changed their opinion, or to have regretted something that they did? Biased questioning, methinks.
4) No, I was civil, gave the reasons behind my thoughts, and will continue to do so when issues relating to cB arrise. Again, though, I would like to ask why it is only mods who could be responsible for blowing things out of proportion. It seems to me that it generally takes two sides to make a discussion heated.
5) Absolutely not. As I pointed out to you at the time, no one but you is responsible for where you post, and you could have ignored the discussion and continued posting elsewhere if you thought your time was being wasted.
6) I don't think it will have any lasting impact, particularly, and it hasn't changed my opinion on FLs overall, which was the focus of most of my posts. If it entertained people for a day, all well and good, but I don't think it was anything more than a diversion.
7) For the most part, perfectly fine. As has always been the case, there are people who are disatisfied, but that's really not new. You can't please everyone.
8) Frankly, beats me. I think most of the issues are personal, and that if people let that go, then things would run a lot more smoothly. Again, there have ALWAYS been people who are unhappy, and that is not in and of itself a sign that we need to drastically revamp the way members and mods interact.
9) When we need to? I don't know. I'm happy with the staff team as is, at the moment, so I'm not personally going to push for changes, but these things are subject to change.
10) Yes, otherwise I would step down.
11) ...None? I think some people, mods and members, came out of that looking foolish, but that was mainly because of their own actions, not because they got 'owned' by someone else.
12) Well, yes. Why would I waste my own time (Note, waste my OWN time) lying to you?

Well that was fun. Nothing like completing a survey after a discussion. Maybe more paperwork is the way forward?
