Why?

[Canary42]

Why do folks keep turning interesting and entertaining threads into inter-poster personal spats.

And instead of culling it, the Mods participate.

GROW UP.

[Canary42]

I've made this plea several times before (it was culled from another forum)

IF YOU DISAGREE, ATTACK THE POST, NOT THE POSTER

We know of whom you speak.

Perhaps some of the Mods are Eton educated types with inflated senses of entitlement, importance and superiority.

Normal rules don't apply to them.

"We know of whom you speak"
i don't!
of whom do you speak?

[david small]

Go forth….

Canary; GROW UP.

You've started it yourself before anybody else had the chance to.
It's what happens on AB.
Why does nobobdy ever agree with me? That's life.

Atheist - believe it or not (and you won't because you're an atheist - OK a poor attempt at humour) I agree with you. :)

I don't know whereof you speak, but I suspect culling lots of posts takes lots of time and unpaid mods have other things to do. You'd possibly be better off drawing the Eds' attention to them directly: they're being paid to keep the site in order, after all.

Yeah, much better to dive straight in with a criticism like you have, Canary! Saves time, dunnit!

what is this trojan horse the Greeks and Romans are fighting about ( Lizzie Eustance in The Eustace Diamonds ( Trollope))

come on someone tell us - yes I know it will be a person and not a thread. That is the fun of AB, none of it makes sense

Occasionally it makes a lot less sense than at other times. Which ties in with the coincidences thread.

[Arksided]

Spooky!

[Zacs-Master]

Not really ;-)

[Peter Pedant]

from the same posters?
