I read the comments User Name posted. I couldn't make head nor tales of them. Thanks to all you who explained the comments. I guess I am a little slow. Oh, well, at least someone set him straight.

As for the claim the QL is the best because of the group of people here... I would definitly have to agree. Whether we like each other or not at least we remain civil, and don't act hateful towards each other. And we might just find out that we aren't so hated after all.

FOG
The fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

Dear friends,
If you please, I need to be enlightened. Do not rush now; let us appoint rhon831 as the official spokesperson.( It will be self evident why it must be she).
A member, User Name, posted a reply which was deemed to be somewhat offensive.He exercised is limited right in doing so but was justly reprimanded by rhon831 in an extremely well-mannered way, to such a degree that one can not but clad her in a cloak of respect.
Then, lo!, the next person mobilises a bandwagon, onto which a substantial crowd jumps.Nothing wrong with that, not in itself.
But friends, is it truly necessary to do your jumping in the manner you did? Was this avalanch of insults truly the only way in which most of you could voice your displeasure?This all encompassing vitriol which eventually even swept a level -tempered lass like rhon831 with.
Why not, after rhon's posting, simply ignore, or better yet, delete the offensive posting? Surely,to call User Name's posting "worthless", himself a "twit", to "doubt his intelligence", hinting that "their attitude stinks", and stating that "you do not need millions of views from idiots who are looking to cause trouble," leaves one with the impression of hippocracy: Answering an insult with concerted insults leaves one with a sense of unease, thinking: Now who will heal the physician, if the physician is sick?
I truly admire your putting the Three Musketeers to shame, but not for the reason(s) why, nor for the way in which you did it.
Accordingly, you can delete this posting, or lock the thread, but I sincerely hope that someone will then enlighten me in person.For I voice that this will not be deleted just because you can.
Sincerely your's,
Prof.

Hmmm...well, it seems that the situation was handled to suit as many as possible. I am not speaking for Rhon831, she is more than able to speak for herself, but the job requires making judgement calls. I am seeing that you agree with the action...the reasons should not matter then.

Each post is an individual judgement call, and the members who are known for 'trouble-making' are shut-down more quickly than those who are not. The so-called 'band wagon', if I am recalling the correct post, was left open for everyone to voice an opinion...not so more insults could be exchanged.

The reason doesn't matter to those who are not involved...and especially, they should not matter to those who agree with the action.
