A little more evidence.

The above thread is a sad example of what can happen here now, when the question of 'who is posting and why' becomes more important than what is said. And a general paranoia and the fear of being 'had' requires our self-appointed guardians to use and justify the very tactics they feel they are entitled to combat when these are used by others. This is sad when the thread could just have been ignored or the question just answered.

The identity of the guest creating the thread was not really important as the question (confirmed by Kevin in this thread) was a perfectly good one and could well have just been answered. This would have deflected any possible ulterior motive of the poster and would have resulted in a more edifying example than this one - of how a guest posting is treated by some of our members.

Is not a little more self-restrait and imagination required now - if our guardians are not to play right into the hands of the one or two guest/troublemakers that pester our forum from time to time?

Is this linked thread not a perfect example of how to make a big unsightly mountain out of an ant hill?
