Dave....The moderators have acted, I have thanked them for their assistance, had they not believed the posts in question were malicious, they would not have removed them.

My latter point was simply about personal abuse and name calling.
I notice even the worst offenders are starting to see it as unacceptable, so let us hope that it will die a natural death?

I have said many times that the mods do a difficult job and as this forum is composed of mainly centre left members, it must be twice as difficult to ensure equality of moderation.....and by that I don't mean to infer that any of them might be influenced in their moderation, by their political views.
