If the posters here act like cranky children and can't straighten up when called on their behavior then what happens happens.

You can close any thread you want to. Don't read it, don't post in it.

That may very well be happening, and we just don't know about it.

I agree, but I don't see a "bunch of threads of all of us name-calling."

I'm betting that there is a certain amount of "control" behind the scenes that were aren't aware of.

Control or Direction?

I was reiterating (notice the quotes) on Dustin's wording. I think direction would be a better choice of words.

That's my point! I bet there is some control going on that we don't know about. I never said there were a bunch of threads with name-calling. I said if we don't have some control then most of the threads would turn end with nothing but name-calling. But if the Admin hasn't closed it yet, then i say continue.
