Do I sense another thread being started by the Self-Appointed Protector Of Thread Purity?

If there is any chance of any poster (like Jerry) who insists on posting on that subject here, really wishing to discuss the good Captain and they do not have any ulterior motives for being seen to attempt to hYjack this one - in the case the subject of William Shatner - there is no shortage of exsisting threads that can be refreshed.

So there is no need to expect the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing team to start a new one to ensure threads have titles that indicate the contents of the thread. in his quest for thread purity.

However, he may well be tempted to impose a new name on this thread and change it to yet another Shatner thread. It depends on which of his personal crusades is currently uppermost and which is seen to present the biggest concern in this vain attempt to be seen in some sort of control over every aspect of what posters choose to post.

Compelling as the subject of Mr Shatner may be to some posters - on a purely practical level, I think you may accept that such posters will be very unlikey to be aware of or able to find discussions and contribute themselves to their favourite subject when this is conducted and posted on a thread that is quite clearly titled Closed threads & deleted post (2)?

Of course, if anyone dares to disagree with Shambles, it's labeled "abuse." Heck, if I say anything in disagreement with anybody, no matter how politely and logically, I get accused of all sorts of horrible things. I guess some people think I'm not allowed to express my opinion here. Such is life.

I was certainly aware that adding the tag (thread title change complaint) to the title of this thread, would be viewed by some as an act of defiance against the rules Shambles seeks to impose upon us. Still, the title In the UK... had no meaning at all, and our general principle is to ensure threads have titles that indicate the contents of the thread.
