Oh, I suppose there's certainly a lot of subjectivity in analyzing the tone of a thread, or the tone of the forum. Whatever the case, I think it's fairly clear that this "bullying" thread didn't have a constructive tone to start out with, and it went downhill from there. For that matter, it would have been far more constructive to confront the "bullying" head on, where it was alleged to have occurred, rather than starting a new thread to complain about an aspect of another thread.

But yeah, I think most people can make a fairly consistent judgment on whether the general tone of a message or a thread is constructive or destructive. Whether that judgment is objective or subjective may be a matter of opinion - but the judgment can be fairly accurate, nonetheless.

But anyhow, what's your point???

Three question marks? One would have done the job.

Again your personal judgement on the tone of a thread. So shambles posted in the wrong way? And his tone was wrong? And another thread was unnecessary? I am beginning to think he has more than a point.

Too many people jump in to criticise how/when and why others post. And some then delete what doesn't float their particular boat. While others jump up and down shouting "Delete this, close that."

There is NO consistency. Your opinion carries no more weight than shambles in reality. The only difference is you have the pack dogs to snarl for you. It was building up into quite a frenzy wasn't it?

I did point out the nasty nature of the bullying in the relevant thread. I also think if shambles thinks it warrants a new thread it is his right to post one.
