I agree with Roger. The thread had morphed into an interesting, intelligent, adult conversation. Nobody had been insulted, nobody was complaining. It's what happens in any discussion. It wasn't hijacked by somebody with a one-track cause, and people were actually talking to each other, rather than posturing and preening. And it's not as if the thread was being sidetracked - it's been up for months, and has almost 100 comments - and has now shifted focus. Why can't we simply go with the flow of a lively and thoughtful interchange?
