You mean, except when you misquote them, slant them, quote them out of context and long after the fact, and use them to stir up upset that has nothing to do with what they said or meant?

Susan-

One of the best aspects of our forum is that the words that are posted remain as posted and can always be brought back for clarification - unless they have deletions, closures and other changes routinely imposed upon them by fellow posters (some of whom remain anonymous).

All posters can judge for themselves if I really deserve your accusation - or indeed any of the accusations and abusive names that it now seems acceptable to call me - or anyone else who posts views that are not now thought to follow the official line in open discussion and debate on our forum. Or indeed if such judgements of fellow posters - by fellow posters have anything at all to do with all those invited by Max to contribute to our open discussion forum.

The request remains simple - that a posters words in thread titles remain as they are posted - unless they agree to any changes. The new principle has developed where our volunteer posters now consider that all thread titles are there for them to impose any changes they wish - without the originator's knowledge or permission. A practice said to be only undertaken for the clarification of our forum's readers - which (in a major if unstated piece of officail policy) are thought now to be more important than it contributors and seems to prevent the showing of equal respect to its contributors.

But as pointed out in this thread - this is a practice that is only selectively practiced on certain thread titles - even when many (or even most) thread titles could always be clarifed. Despite this - such selective actions are defended and justified as if the originator's wishes were thought less important than the wishes of those of their volunteer fellow posters ( some of whom remain anonymous) and whose actions always seem to be supported. Even when - as in this case when the incorrect imposed change caused the very confusion it was supposed to be changed to avoid.

I would like to see a situation return on our forum where everyone was seen to be treated equally. Is that really so bad?
