Bill,Bill,Bill. "It's no use debating" ??? If you think that, my friend, then - er , er, no,can't bring myself to ask.

   On the other hand, I think a lot of frustration among posters comes from being torn between your thought,Bill, namely what's the use debating? , and the wish to debate.

What's also in all this,IMO, is the wish of many posters to say something which might be the final word; or, to put that another way, to write something which will have the effect of a knockout blow. And when the actual result is more responses, frustration sets in.

   And we all get irrelevant ,ignorant or uncomprehending answers. And responses outside our competence.

   

   I can fathom people who do want to debate with the Shambles of this world; I grasp why people would just ignore such threads; and why posters might simply proceed as though "annoying" posters were invisible.

   Those seem to me the three best possibilities. Trying to get someone like that 'deleted', in an open forum, seems to me a waste of time, space and effort. Debate, ignore the poster, or ignore the threads seem the sensible options.
