Joe said, (my emphasis)I think we need to accommodate people with specialized interest by controlling those who would turn serious discussions into joke threads. It'd be a sorry-arsed auld world if a little light relief couldn't be interjected into serious discussions now and then. I know, I know...it's gone too far at times on the Mudcat and I've been disgusted by it, too. BUT, it has also led to fantastic threads on the most interesting of subjects, so...let's not banish the Court Jesters.:-) I think the word "Control" is best reserved for the real arseholes...the ones who abuse, troll, and flame as did MG. kat
