Well, I did "look at the thread". And near as I could tell it was a simple discussion, clarifying points of view, which did not detract from another topic or another thread. It was NOT a "personal disagreement". I was not aware of any less than peaceful interaction between Of Troy and myself. There was no reason for anyone to interfere and call for "peace, please" (whatever that meant). It WAS a peaceful discussion. Ironic that "Peace, please" isn't heeded elsewhere. I'm not sure what the proverbial "slap" is, my actually ignoring posts - which proves that it can be done, with a little effort, or my honest admission that I have been ignoring them. If my policy of non-response is so offensive, then apparently conflict is preferred? My "good efforts" never stood a chance, as long as relentless reactionaries persist.
Enjoy your puerile little war, I hope it brings you countless hours of entertainment.

SilkMuse, the former responded to a post that used the terms bomber ... refugies.. the war is still on ... state of seige ... guerilla warfare, refering to a person beyond merely of-troy and yourself.
The latter referred to a post which you have now deleted, precluding further explication.
Silk, I do hope you're not leaving? I can't read the posts you've deleted but it sounds as though one of them advocates ignoring posts/posters (perhaps one in particular, whom I myself choose to ignore) in order to maintain calm and sanity on the board.
I do wish people would stop picking at each other here....Fortunately there's not a LOT of picking, but what there is, is still distressing.
I take Helen's point about words - but I don't mind some of the digressions. We're all human - who can know what's going to be of interest? If a thread gets "corrupted" by punning and discussion distant from the original intent, perhaps the original intent could be reopened in a new thread. I certainly had a thread corrupted way back when: can't even remember what it was originally about, because it so quickly (within two or three posts) turned into a discussion of uniforms!
Sugar coming from grit/pebble/etc: My mother sometimes talks about putting some sugar on some dessert - rhubarb or melon or strawberries or what have you - "for grit"! (yeah, Mum, like you don't want the sweetness too!)
Anyway....I really wanted to say, SILK PLEASE DON'T LEAVE! I enjoy your posts no end and love your integrity and positive attitude. Sometimes wish you had PM switched on so I could say "hello" without all the board looking on....the only thing I use PM for, really: maintaining private relationships with board members I love.
"Puerile war....countless hours of entertainment" - that about sums it up, really. Sighhhhh.
