The chief moderator HAS made a decision for the time being....to NOT delete most threads unless there are clear personal attacks* and/or excessive bad language.

The Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team has stated that -

This thread is to be kept open, so Roger can say whatever it is that he needs to say.
-Joe Offer-

So until he changes his mind and also closes this thread - in this thread I can make as many personal attacks as I wish and use as much excessive bad language as any of the edit button holders are normally permitted to use.

But as I find it easy not to indulge in personal attacks on my fellow posters and not to respond in kind to the many posts encouraged to be addressed to or about me, containing only this - and I can say whatever I need to say without setting the example of using bad language - there is not a problem.

Luckily for the rest of our forum.
