I am not sure who is getting wound up, who is winding up and who is just full of wind...

It seems to me that everyone agrees. Everyone has the right to complain. The 'management' have the right to moderate. When someone sees 'immoderate moderation' they feel that it should be addressed in some way. What that some way is may be an issue but certainly one that we all agree is prely and simply Max's prerogative. We are now on page 4 and all, seemingly, avidly agreeing with each other as if we were arguing! Very strange.

The only recent point I disagree with is that 'everyone is off topic'. The topic is closed threads. Closed threads are one way of moderating discussions. Most of the above points have been about moderation. The two are inexorably linked and you cannot discuss why threads have been closed without introducing moderation.

Well, not IMO anyway.

Lets see how long we can all agree while making it seem like a war is going on :-)
