Bill you and anyone else has every right to express your opinion.

When complaints are made and encouraged to made about what and how others posters contribute in the hope that editing action is imposed -or these posters are forced to post in the manner you require of them, that is another thing. Is it setting a very positive example?

Making ground for this, has been encouraged for a long time but will never ever satisfy those encouraged. Perhaps it is time for some of the the more tolerant among us who generally like our forum as it is, to be listened to for once? Perhaps those who do not accept the reality of what our forum is, can just be encouraged to stop complaining about other posters or to go somewhere else?

The routine imposition of editing action is a big thing for the individual concerned. I trust you agree with that? Encouraging posters to request that editing action be imposed in secret upon others by unknown volunteers is not in any spirit of The Mudcat that I understand. This example just encourages more people to feel that the routine imposition of this is acceptable and the only answer.
