Gilbert MainesWell Jay, it is certainly poor etiquette to hijack a thread. I would think that if a colleague felt the need to take a thread on a tangent, he would be sufficiently courteous to return the discussion to its intended course prior to ending his posting.
And I agree that censorship is an inherently harmful tactic.
However, we do not agree in the banning of participants. Now I am not talking about 11 year old kids who occasionally visit via Leon's generosity and tolerance. I mean the banning of regular contributors. That is an option which is guaranteed to cause bad feelings, and with that recognition, ALL efforts to avoid employing that option should be exhausted first.
This is all just my humble opinion, and I admit that I have no idea how to run this board. Thank goodness someone does, 'cause we've gotten this far!
