I have no control over Max or the trolls, gnu. Thank you for your concern. I am also not going to tell or ask anyone to close a thread. I've had that suggestion ignored and mocked too may times.

I know you like me as a person. But that is almost never to my benefit. This is the fourth or fifth time you basically called me an arsehole in public. That isn't exactly kind or polite. Is it? Why can't you complain to me privately? You are not rude on Facebook? What is it about the Mudcat?
