Quote - Seemed very obvious to me, many pages of "you're a poopiehead" "you drink pee" and presto, thread became locked.  Just because you're allowed to advertise your product here to the extent you already are - and imo, it's a lot, but they tolerate it so whatever - doesn't mean any thread containing a reference to it is holy ground.  Karen did her job, and imo the only thing she could have done better was to have been more aggressive about it and less tolerant.

I am sorry that I brought up the subject. It is really true that people here are simply incapable of NOT making anything into a personal attack (see above). Your note, alas, is not addressing my question: censor comments or entire threads?
I am off this thread because I don't see a chance of a measured and dignified discussion to develop about the guiding (and hopefuly democratic) principles of these forums.
Lesson learned.
