Quote - I do hate to see this, not what has been said but that is needs to be said at all, plus the fact that some good information is lost.

Case in point - I was really interested in the recent thread about the pros and cons of the new figure Dawn and it all started out so well.  Part way through though it was clear just where it was heading and instead of being active in the thread I monitored it in the hope some interesting information would still be posted.  The thread has now disappeared so I guess my prediction was correct, yet this is one case I hate being right.  There was some good information there and I am sure more would have followed but for the actions of the few.  Once again the many suffer because of the few.

I do support the moderators and understand that threads need to be locked but it makes me sad all the same...we share a hobby that gives so much pleasure to many in different ways,   I just cannot understand why we cannot share the pleasure and leave the rest behind. 

When it decends into personal attacks it seems we all lose not just the person being attacked.

The moderators do have a impossible job.
We should help the moderators not hinder them.
If we let the trolls over run us then like you said we lose.

If they try to provoke you ignore them.

If they start a war ,Don't argue with them ,just tell them enough.

If we all banded together ,we could make this a troll free zone ,Seriously.
