You can all save the warm and fuzzy new age "visualize world peace" admonitions for somebody else. That isn't the point I'm arguing anyway. The point I was arguing was whether katlaughing has a god given right to dictate to others how to post to a thread once it drifts away from the original post to it, as happened when Dead Horse contributed, and I responded.

No one has the right to dictate how others respond in threads.    They can feel as self-justified as they want to bitch about thread drift, but they don't have the ability to control it, and it is silly to try. My first post to this thread was a response to Dead Horse's claims about media coverage of pacifists. Then katlaughing comes in to throw a hissy fit, saying:

"Would you please take the never-ending debate to another thread? I thought I was pretty clear about the purpose of this thread?"

Does katlaughing think she is queen of Mudcat, or merely our mother? She was condescending as hell, and it had nothing to do with visualizing whirrled peas, but with katlaughing not getting her way.

Gimmee a break.
