Liz, it's OK I think. I was one of those who asked for the other thread to be closed; this one does not discuss the incident (at least not yet), but rather muppitz' action in raising the issue. It is generic at this stage, still - and I hope it remains so.

I do object to posters asking for threads to be closed or deleted.

If a thread is not to your taste - leave it - and then as far as you are concered - the thread IS closed. Why would you wish to deprive other posters to whom this thread may be to their taste?

And if you don't like the fact that the public can post what they choose to on a discussion forum that is open to the public - find another site.

These days - our volunteers need no encouragement to impose their judgement upon us.
