The more tolerant posters are generally even tolerant of the intolerant and pedantic, who love 'rules' being imposed upon others, who have been and are now being encouraged to think that the main purpose of our forum is to mind everyone else's business. However, this does not mean that the majority are in agreement, that it is.

They are more concerned with shaping our forum by making their contributions, as I am. Sadly this leaves to door wide open to those whose main purpose in life appears to be to sit in judgement on others, in the name of order. I woke up a little while ago to the fact that the party I was invited to a long time ago, was not the same one that many others thought they were being invited to now and with different hosts. I am sure that many others are also quite unaware that the 'bouncers' are now making up their own rules and encouraging the pedants to post to 'snitchers corner' (the Mudcat Help Forum), to report the indiscretions of others.

This I would suggest is the 'obsession' that is possibly of more concern than my views. It was with a view to address this 'obsession' that this thread was started and not by me.......
