It's taken some time but they're getting there. Public posts, especially those of a provocative nature, are an invitation to public response and public critique. It is called push-back.Of course, it would have been nice to see more people of Mike Hewson's calibre. |

The problem with allowing all public critique is that neither of you know where and when to stop. You're like fire and brimstone, when one says something, the other needs to react. It's impossible for either of you to let it go and react to someone else. And that on a continuous basis. Which is where the moderation then has to step in. So, us moderators have talked among each other and come up with a plan, which goes into motion 30 seconds after I post this. If you do not want to be part of that plan, you'll decide not to take any bait whatsoever ever again. If you do want to be part of the plan, you can find out what it beholds by continuing as you were. |

Do you have a plan for those who throw bait into the water, er chum the place up with post after post until they provoke a feeding frenzy, er reaction? |

The provocative nature of much of the flame-posting has been considered, yes. |

Islamist suicide plot to assassinate Prime Minister Theresa May foiled Essentially police believe that the plan was to launch some sort of improvised explosive device at Downing Street and in the ensuing chaos attack and kill Theresa May, the Prime Minister. |

One hopes the furore of Trump's @ If he now knows it irritates you, maybe he won't use it with you again.One is always open to correction on matters of addressing fellow posters. Indeed, if there are others here who desire a less formal approach, then I will of course, for the sake of peace and harmony, oblige. :-) |

I think the difference is in reading, between Sir and sir. Where 'Sir' with the capital can irritate, 'sir' with a lower cap 's' should not, unless you're a woman or other gender. edit: always forget the signature |
