Big Gunns answer to a pm from JLC

Ok,

Some portions of this thread have been moved to the Quarantine room and can now be found here.

Anyone who wishes access should contact any member of the Admin team (names in red in the userlist ).

Since there were both good and less desirable aspects to several post this may result in this thread now seeming somewhat disjointed. Sorry about that but I did my best.

Oh, okay I see. I ask for this thread to go to QT and I get the owner telling me the mods will do it when they think it needs to be done. But BG makes mention of it and within minutes it's done.

What's going on here. Who's running the show here?

Come on Judy!

Mr. Smith, the staff does not take action just because a member stamps his foot like a petulant preschooler. This "show" is run by the Admin Team and I don't expect you, or any single individual, to agree with or like every single decision we make. I won't bother with the ridiculous comment that implies that BG somehow dictated what happened with this thread being split, because no matter what I say, you will believe what you've already set yourself to believe and no amount of discussion will change that.

Can we talk via PM?

Us.

I know it won't help but I might as well try and explain my train of thought.

The thread continued to deteriorate after your interaction ended and leaving it as was seemed less and less viable.

I made an attempt to reign it back slightly by a request in the thread. The more I thought about it afterwards the less chance I saw of it working.

Since we still wanted to keep the thread viewable the notion of splitting out the worst of it was one I was already considering. I didn't do it at first because, frankly, it is a pain in the onions to weed through 10 pages of petty squabbling evaluating each post at 4am my time.

When I logged back in this afternoon it seemed a less irritating job so I did it (12.42pm if you want to be precise ). This was four and a half hours after BG posted - not "within minutes". And it was still an irritating job.

If you want to make certain this has been done before search for the word "removed" in the thread titles in QT.

Your request was to move the whole thread to QT which we do not want to do and still have not done - though I am now considering it more and more since it seems people cannot just let it go.

Lesson learned though - next time I'll just infract everyone for general hostility and delete the whole thread.
