Like Luke, I went to sleep, then a few hours later, what I see is a car crash of a thread. Clearly we need another Mod to police the 1am to 6am UK time.

1) If anyone is receiving obscene or unacceptably unpleasant PMs from anyone else, let the Mods know. Although this is essentially a private form of communication, in the past we have taken action against what is basically cyber-bullying. The owner, Rob, takes a very dim view of anyone who sends clearly offensive PMs.

2) Although only one poster has actually been reported, several have gone too far here. Some of you should take some time for self reflection. I have amended one post of Mirror Image and deleted a couple plus some from other people. Posting photos of monkeys to show contempt of members here is just not acceptable. Remember the rules folks.

3) Teresa commented that she would not descend to personal abuse. I see the denigration of the opinions of others, as against disagreement of them, as being just the same as personal abuse. If you can't grasp that telling people they are dishonest, as they can't possibly enjoy music they say they do is personal abuse, then best to silence yourself as you will continue to pull anger onto yourself.

If that is actually your aim, then grasp NOW that we are not catering to the maschosist market here. Assume that the personal freedom you so value for yourself will be curtailed in an experiment to see how you enjoy being restricted in the way you clearly would like to restrict others.

I really do wonder what someone with such vociferous views on banning music is doing on a serious music discussion site.

Roadway now cleared of debris and thread locked.
