Have you actually read all five threads even though you think they shouldn’t have been allowed to continue? I’ll be polite and say that’s not very sensible. Even if you’re correct about it being a rules violation, what’s the point?

Fair enough, I see now that **tomndebb** was referring to you earlier. (I probably should’ve picked up on that, but I didn’t.)

The thread you cited was not closed for ‘being a blog.’

> **Captain\_Awesome** , you might want to start a new thread to tackle the issues you are addressing. This thread is being swamped by the effluent of the pissing contest that has dominated the last couple of pages and I am closing it.
