I haven't seen the threads in question myself--maybe they've been removed by now. But if not, please remember that we (in the US) have just had a holiday weekend, and the people that watch over the Mudcat deserve a little time off as much as anybody else.

Ways to deal with threads you have major problems with include posting a message to the elves via the "help" page, stating your disagreement on the thread, ignoring it, or posting a notice on the thread to advise all to ignore it, so it will fall off the list of the current day's threads sooner. It's bad enough we have flamers out there posting nasty stuff. We don't need people with supposedly good intentions being nasty to the elves for failing to take action soon enough!
