Can I remind everyone that this Thread has two purposes:

1. To name and shame, and
2. Make it easy for FD and the GMods to identify serial abusers.

While I can understand the urge to comment, and I'll allow it to a limited extent, the posts put here need to be focussed on quoting posts of others which are abusive or critical of a Member.

Can I get some co-operation on that please?

If the purpose of this thread is to identify serial abusers amd you are appointing yourself as a policeman, then you best get to work including some context and precursors as well as complete quotes. I have noticed some selective editing.

Nothing 'policeman' about it. Anyone can make a Thread of this kind. It is a community service.

I don't like how Australia is managed on many issues, yet I do not need to use my feet and go elsewhere. I endeavour as best I can using the facilities available to me, to bring about change when I reckon change would be beneficial. If I'm in the minority, fine, I have no problem with that at all.

So tell me, what is your position on personal abuse/criticism? Ought the Rule be abolished? What say ye?

This is a political forum, there are plenty around. You might have less heartbreak if you found one that is more accommodating to the way you think things should be run.

As it is, if you want to play policeman, or hall monitor or however else you see yourself don't be upset if others see you as a bit of an meddling whiner of the sort I think most of us are acquainted with at some point in life.

I reckon Esme, which will be familiar to some, might be a more appropriate handle for you.

I will leave you now to your complaining and dobbing. Cool

You mistake me for someone who cares what others on the www who do not know me at all, regard me as. So, that's the end of that. Move on. This Thread is not about me needlessly justifying myself. If people post personal abuse/criticism, they can expect it to be quoted here. If they don't like that, easy solution.....don't post personal abuse/criticism.

I did notice (of course) you failed to answer this question:

The threat to moderation has nothing to do with me, and 100% all to do with what is posted by others.

So, you will not take a stand on that very simple issue/question.

All you want to do is useless grandstand. Just so we all understand each other.

Actually I was moved to comment when reading of your intention for your thread and noting the edited comments stripped of context which is your evidence.

As for grandstanding, not me starting threads and playing milk monitor. Roll Eyes

No mention there that this thread has two purposes. sounds to me like the milk monitor is making it up as they go.
