I think I'm with the Mac on this one.

When there is an Ignore facility, or a personal option not to engage with a thread why get involved?
The DCC thread got quite nasty and personal at the end. No need for it.

[mod]I don't think discussion about members has a place on the open forum, and I've a mind to shut this down depending on what the rest of the team think.[/mod]

Fully agree with Moderator Bealman about public discussion of individual members.

The golden rule for this or any other forum should be  "if you can't say something nice about a person, say nothing".

The only acceptable personal comments are positive ones, e.g. "XXX's layout is very good" or "I met YYY at an exhibition and he gave me a lot of good ideas for improving my layout".

Obviously it's different for comments about products or companies, where both positive and negative comments have their place, e.g. giving recognition to a supplier's fast response to a customer order, or raising concerns about a manufacturer's quality control. Even then, discussions of poor experiences should be carried on with the aim of achieving a positive outcome, rather than descending into a throwing of verbal stones at a manufacturer or vendor.

Ad Hominem attacks have no place in this forum.

Best wishes,

I agree with locking the thread - personal comments are verboten
