I agree 100% with what you say, however; some people easily get their panties in a bunch when they take a dislike to another member for whatever petty reasons may exist, it maybe something as simple as "Grumpy Old man Syndrome", it happens in every Forum on the WWW. Instead of pulling up their Big Girl Panties, they take exception to someone, and it festers, it happens. "Move Along"

There are topics which interest some but not others, the same goes for posts made by other members, if something does not interest me I skip over and move along to the next post, I try to only give positive ratings and ignore those I may have with issues with for whatever reasons. Life is too short to spend it with S**T on the Liver Syndrome.

If you do not like a Post/Poster, then simple; do not read it and move along, if someone's posts annoy you to the point of rage and you lack the ability to move on and ignore, then simply ignore that person and you no longer see those posts. Problem solved!

'If the complaint' was in regards to the Underground Car Park thread Dr. Shiva and I commented on, then I still feel it is relevant what was posted (moved to transport thread) regards WHY a 1000+ Car Park is being built/NEEDED in this city, when introducing Buses or E-Bikes to remove the amount of noisy polluting Tricycles in operation would clean up the problem. But I have my big Girls Panties on and can live with your decision to move for what reasons you deem best, now to move along and do something that interests me...

Some topics naturally lead to side topics for a particular poster, not all members will see the tie between the two as they have different experiences. Also some side topics quickly gain momentum, maybe even gathering more interest than the original topic. I find the Mods are generally very good at spotting run away side topics and splitting them off into a topic of their own thread (like this one). They are not perfect however so a "Hey Mods, this xyz topic seems to have a mind of its own, can you split it off?" post or a pm to one of them or Dustin may 'clean up the topic' a bit faster.

I understand both sides of the off-topic issue. Unfortunately this is one of those things that no matter what is done someone isn't going to be completely satisfied (or perhaps even displeased). I think we should just all let this one go and move on, it really isn't that big of an issue.

I see things are way off topic again. Surprise, surprise, surprise.
Wrye, perhaps you can give instructions on how to start a new thread.
