This was never a very useful thread in the first place: the OP is a serial poster on other forums who has done no more than state the obvious. I'm going to lock it, but leave it visible so that people can see that valued members like KB, Vitesse 6 and ** (aka Focal Point) are at the end of their tether.
So indeed am I, having had to delete offensive posts almost every day recently. But this is down largely to one person (certainly not you, Unthrottled) who brings down thread after thread to the level of opinionated ranting or personal insults, or both. Others sometimes join in but only when provoked.
I could disable his account: but there are people on here who would quite reasonably feel that that was an infringement of free speech which is what a forum like this is all about. What I, and I'm sure my co-moderators also, can do is - reluctantly, but for the sake of the general good of the forum - be more ruthless in pruning or deleting the opinionated, over-long ranting and the abuse.
If anyone has any comments on this, please E-mail

(I would have preferred to E-mail the person in question, but he has given us an address that doesn't work.)
