A gratuitously rude troll post was removed. @josephbloggs please move on to another thread or elsewhere if you have nothing to say here. We speak to other members respectfully here, even when we disagree with each other. Thank you.

An off topic reference to the Second World War was removed from a post, as were replies to it.

Off topic references to the Second World War were removed, as were remarks intended to offend adherents of an entire religion (that contravene Rule 15), as were off topic references to the actions of the State of Israel in Gaza, as were posts saying that one or another fellow member has no right to participate in the discussion. Please stay on topic. Thank you.

Some posts that contained nothing other than nastiness, bullying, and rudeness, were removed. A comment on moderation was also removed. Please debate the subject politely, and if all you have left to add here is mindless contempt or insults, then stand down and move on to another topic. Banter and well intended advice are fine, but gratuitous rudeness and cruelty aren't. Thank you.
