You're not a moderator but you can close threads and you tried to ban me a few months ago. Pull the other one.

You can't show me any single post of Iains' that has garnered twenty lengthy, angry protest posts. Nothing like. Stop making things up. As for this:

"...but they'd rather do battle. They live to do battle. And in the process, they're not doing Mudcat any good"

The only person who currently comes here to do battle is Iains, unless you'd like to count yourself. I do NOT "live to do battle." I post in music threads, recipe threads, joke threads and all sorts of whimsical threads. I don't do battle in those. I do not live to do battle. And what's not doing Mudcat any good is your adamant refusal to excise the person who is causing the trouble. Instead of facing up to that obstinate fact, like Molly used to do and like Jeremy does, but probably doesn't have to any more, you leave him unfettered then blame the rest of us. We are all decent human beings with all the flaws that that comes with. One such flaw is that we find it hard to ignore being grossly insulted by a far-right know-nothing. Yes there's a counsel of perfection, but we are human and should try harder of course. But you are letting him insult us, exposing us to that when you have it in your gift to stop him. On the contrary, it almost seems to give you pleasure in allowing it. Then you attack US. And I reckon we want Mudcat to be a better place a damn sight more than you appear to do. So quit the demonising and get a grip, Joe.
