I'm a little concerned that Mousethief may be badly needing some attention.

He suggests that he has been subject to abuse in this thread and accuses we participants of being "nasty and mean-spirited".

I'm blowed if I can find either nastiness, abuse, or evidence of meanness of spirit. What I have found is a reasonably light, though serious, sensitive and mainly humorous discussion on the original point and some of its digressions - in other words, a typical Mudcat thread. Is there something I'm missing?
