because if the numpties weren't spoke to at all then perhaps they would go away.
So if theres a bit of stirring then nobody rise to it and it'll soon stop.
Getting more like school here every day.  |
Andy,
I can understand your thoughts on this matter and your desire to maintain YD's standards, but, I have my doubts abt requesting people not to rise to "stirring". Don't forget a lot of people on this forum also post on Divernet and I have personally rcv'd a good old flaming from one YD member because I did not agree to his thoughts on the BCD or wing v dry suit for buoyancy debate.
Also, don't forget that despite the descent into name calling that was a well read and well replied to thread which engendered a lot of interest. Whether that was only because of the arguement or not I don't know.
What I'm trying to say is, it WILL happen again at some time and I'm afraid that on the few occassions it does, you will need to step into your Big Brother boots and be Judge and Jury and delete the offending post. I don't think barring ALL contributors is right or fair.
For whay it's worth, despite looking forward to some more posts on that thread, I think you did the right thing in deleting it.
Happy censorship.
Rgds
Bryan
