I had you and a few others on ignore for a while just so some topics would at least be readable and free from inane mindless chatter!

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
You don't think starting a sarcastic thread belitting other peoples threads is 'having a go'? Or posting and saying their threads are pointless? 
Simple answer is just ignore the threads if you're not interested.
And Louise didn't make a personal attack, she made a sarcastic comment which nobody has reported. So no need for any action.

)I feel it was a personal attack (however unlike some I fail to see the point in reporting/removing/editing or otherwise sanctioning everything I disagree with)

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
Maybe we need a new sub forum call it In Memoriam so some can post about all the celebrities that have passed away.

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
What's this then, if not a sarcastic thread belitting those that others have chosen to post? http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=630904 Hardly a subtle dig, was it?And sorry you feel it was a personal attack, I don't see it as anything other than a sarcastic comment in response to you implying that her thread tedious.
Again Butch, just ignore it if you don't agree with it! No need to always stir things up.

...and you should know better than to insert yourself into the middle of it and continually stir the damned pot.
As a moderator you should know when bite your tongue and to stay out of things.
You're all acting like bloody two years olds, for goodness sake grow up.

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
I haven't closed any threads, or deleted Butch's sarcastic one either. I've only responded to those that have replied directly to me, in a polite manner. Hardly 'stirring the pot'.

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
I'm simply trying to point out to Butch why the threads he posted are belittling to others and can be taken the wrong way as he clearly doesn't see it. And to respond to his complaint about a comment another member made towards him.

It's got nothing to do with closing or deleting threads.
If you want to get in a fight with someone and bring threads to their attention the do it via PM not the way you currently operate.
Your modus operandi is completely at odds with the way a moderator should function.
