This is allowed. If you have an issue with my moderation, take it to ATMB. But do not continue to discuss moderation issues in this thread. You came back to bump this thread with a pointless post two days after it had gone dormant. As I said, if you actually have something to say about the OP, or even defend your “whoosh” post, you are free to do so. But don’t continue to bump this thread with irrelevant remarks.

Hand on heart didn’t realise that the thread had gone dormant, and this is no bump. I have no desire to bump the thread, its not my thread. ---

I suggest it might be a good idea to actually go out for that stroll.😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-was-there-no-reign-of-terror-in-the-us-revolution/603528.md?page=3)
