Hi, Pete -

My position at Mudcat has changed, and I don't handle the "negative stuff" anymore. I pass complaints on to the Moderation Team, which has had this thread under observation and discussion for quite some time. Of course, there's no reason why somebody can't start a new thread, and leave the combatants to duke it out here. Call the new one "Whitby 2012 - your experiences," or something similar that differentiates it from the problem thread. It's hard for the Moderation Team to shut down a thread like the current one, because it is a legitimate discussion, albeit at times an unpleasant one.
