Oh dear, the things one misses because of work (I really do deserve that private income if there are any weak-minded, gullible philanthropists out there...).
I'm sorry to read that people have dropped out in response to incivility, I hope that they're lurking and will re-appear. I hope even more that I've never upset anybody here with an ill-considered post - abject apologies etc. if I ever have.
Mods - I envy your jobs even less than I did before, and thank you all for the time you put in on the task.
Regarding the future, I'm not convinced that banning topics from discussion in the lounge is a good idea - I think we have to try and continue to build a consensus on what constitutes polite and civilised discussion. Would it be feasible to deploy a 'firehose' type post to cool down overheated threads (and posters) without shutting down the thread?
Meantime I'm returning to my mug of coffee to have fun in the rest of the lounge. And at the risk of attracting a devastatingly savage flame, I have a bar of chocolate, and I'm NOT sharing, so there!
