So the lesson is - if any poster wishes any thread to be closed they are safe to post personal attacks to it or to intentionally flood it with different subjects and encourage others to follow suit.

And to be able to all this in perfect safety.

Although certain of our favoured posters have always done this and been perfectly safe no matter how questionable their conduct and the example set by this bullying conduct may be.

I'm aware of that possibility, and it concerns me. I've done what I can to resist that sort of attempt at coercion.
