Bottom line folks... no matter how we handle it there will be discontent... every situation presents it's own catch 22 situation...

IF we move a thread out of site we are accused of censorship.

IF we leave the thread but close it we are accused of closing a good conversation. (Even when it is obvious that a "good conversation" had all ready ended in the thread.) Or as Wolf said, the entire mess is picked up again in another thread were the cycle is repeated and instead of everyone being upset with us once... now they are upset with us twice.

IF we do nothing then there are accusation of "flaming" from assorted sides.

IF we edit the post with the "flaming" then we didn't edit so and so and he started it...

Shall I continue or have you picked up the point?

There is no GREAT solution to this. Just as there is no SOLID definition of a flame.

We basically are like referee's at a sporting event. Sometimes people like the decisions we make, sometimes they don't. We are going to be called names, told we are being "unfair," etc. (Thankfully we can't be spit on in this format! lol) Or, if the decision goes the way you want we "made a right call," etc.

It is a no win situation and we are doing the best we can. There is no instant reply but we do try to learn from the daily game tapes....
