Why dig up remarks made years ago by a comedian now largely forgotten? That Charlie Chaplin also had a sharp tongue.

For the sake of argument I will allow that she may be technically correct but then why haven't the moderators moved the thread or killed it off? That is the question you should be asking yourself.

Now this forum may be different from others but based on experience if a poster, any poster, feels a topic is not appropriate or it is objectionable then a moderator is contacted privately and, if needs be, action is taken. Morwenna however chose to take the direct route so guess what she got a response.

It could all have been avoided.

She got a response she didnt like. I don't mince words. Sorry but she should have thought of all this beforehand.

As to me being patronizing, out of line, and engaging in personal attack, well all will say is that I do not share your opinion. All I did was say what I had to say. Sorry if I wasn't more diplomatic but that is the way I am made!

Morwenna why not apply for the position of moderator here? If by chance you are considered up to the task and if accepted then (bravo!) you will be able to redirect threads.

And posters, such as I, whether we agree or not, will simply have to put up with your decisions.

Meanwhile, why not contact the present moderators, in private of course, voice your displeasure and make your request for thread reassignment or deletion, ... whatever?

I sometimes wonder where the moderators are - some of the postings can be quite offensive, and it's not so long ago that a lady was hounded off of the Canada forum because she posted something quite reasonable that some didn't agree with. Those attacks were really offensive. How do you report a post to moderators?

On the left, just next to the karma square is a tiny exclamation mark. click on this, and tell em what you think. then the deed is done.

who was hounded off? what did i miss?? was it me? i have often said never again but addiction drags me back
