Your point is well taken Shambles. But the more important point is to take it out of your personal context, and see what it is doing to the group dynamic.

Instead of waiting to be saved by the Mudcat censors who will delete or close threads, individual members need to ignore and not post in attack threads ESPECIALLY to say "this is a personal attack" or "don't post to this".

That is exactly what gets everybody wound up around here, then they simply sit back and wait for the censors to show up. Lazy in the extreme.

It wouldn't take a lot of self-discipline to make this a good forum. The pathetic thing about it is, no one is even willing to try. They are having the time of their lives trash talking one another.
