Subject: RE: Title Change Discussion(moved from another thread)
Shambles, as you probably know, I'm not a member of the "Everything is just hunky-dory in Mudville and Joe and the Clones do such a marvelous job that it makes ne cream in my jeans!" crowd. There are occasional serious problems in the way this forum is moderated. Threads have been closed and posts deleted based not upon what was said, but who said it. At least one Clone lets his personal conflicts with other members affect his work as a moderator. Joe Offer has publicly embarrassed at least three members in the last year by publicly disclosing things that should have been dealt with in private.

Those are real problems. But complaining because a thread title has been changed to alleviate confusion is, to put it bluntly, chickenshit. I agree with much of what you say (though I don't understand why you feel compelled to say it so frequently), but this issue of editing titles when the obvious reason is to clarify the original writer's intent is a sidetrack heading to nowhere. If you seriously want to help change the things that need to be changed around here, you need to get your train off of that sidetrack and back on the main line before the track runs out.
