MODS: Can we PLEASE have the personal attack threads in OT closed? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

In the past day, there have been threads started attacking Winston and Giancarlo personally.

I've always held Apolyton moderation in the highest regard, because it drew the line by locking or deleteing threads started specifically with the intent of personal attacks.

Is that not the case anymore? Are these threads okay now? Can I start a "MarkG needs to shave his back" thread and that's okay?

We should live in a tolerant society.

If you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all.

If all else fails and you can't help but react to their posts, use the ignore function on them so you have none of their posts to react to.

Put an end to popups!

I was out of town for a few days, thought I'd have internet access, but had TCP/IP file problems on my laptop and didn't have time to get it fixed.

Nope, those types of threads aren't acceptable.

Oh, oops, sorry, personal attack, I'd better get out of here before I say another another mean thing. Oops, I denounced personal attacks. Oh no, I said something was bad! Wait a minute, I can't call things bad.

First, I doubt the phrase came from a cartoon thumping rabbit originally, and second - why was there a need for me to make the statement verbatim?
