There is another dimension to this topic and that relates to those original posters who frequently comment about other posters they view as not welcome to their thread because they disagree. This complaint has troubled me from the first time i saw one. First, it appears the OP only wants people to join in that agree with his/her take on a topic. Secondly if the only people who responded were those in agreement how would anyone know if there were alternative or side effect of what the OP proposed.

Do you believe that while a business owner wants to hear how good his business is doing that he/she would not welcome complaints that they could address them.

If a subject manner is disagreeable to the receiver is the sender disagreeable? Of course not.

So a suggestion for original posters if you don't want to hear the other side.....or the rest of the story you may want to place in big block letters at the beginning of your post. IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH WHAT I AM SAYING THEN PLEASE DON'T POST HERE. ALL WE WANT ARE LIKE MINDED PEOPLE WHO ARE CONVERTS TO OUR CAUSE .

There's usually a pattern established where you see that the person who disagrees with the thread is not interested in discussion at all. And the person is usually part of a team effort to get a thread closed. It's the same few people over and over who apparently have no real interest in a worthwhile exchange of ideas.

Hi villagePL: First let me begin by saying that I generally agree with what you are saying .

Secondly I mentioned in previous post on this subject that 'Intent"was key. if the only purpose for a poster to engage in a thread is clearly be a spoiler, then we both agree. But before one can make that call a little back and forth between posters needs to take place before such a claim of intentional can be made.

Third I have never agreed with this forum position that a poster has a right to demand a thread be closed because as of now I have yet to see anything that was so bad that it would shock the conscience. And most of those close those thread demands appear to carry the �'m telling Dad your picking on me" reasoning.

All I suggest here is that too many people try and manipulate or stop discussion with claims of lack of civility, racist, etc political correctness.
In todays' culture people honestly believe that name calling is their argument

Personal Best Regards:

I agree that there are some posters who try to close down a thread if it is not going their way. I have also noticed multiple threads have mysteriously disappeared lately with no notice to the OP.
