Sorry for the deletions, guys, but I really mean to get this thread back on track.

That includes you too, abill_uk.

I'm not going back through every post. I posted a warning, and afterward it was ignored. I'm acting from the point of the warning forward. You're free to protest my choice to the admin. But this thread will stay on topic going forward.

EDIT: okay, I see geneven's post was after mine. Fair enough. Deleted also.

What sorts of discussions are off track in a thread called Ask the Council? What is the topic?

See the start of the thread.

Anyway, it's been devolving into personal attacks and rebuttals lately and one thing I can say is that's not on topic. My apologies to the forum for not being firmer sooner, but again, that's not my usual style.

Texrat, in the first post you invited responders to ask the council "whatever you like". You might want to reword that, since Abil!_uk's "noise" and by extension my "noise" and how the Council could or could not respond to either are clearly off limits.

I meant of the council. Hence the thread title.

Why am I having to explain that?

*facepalm* Geneven, "ask the council whatever You like" doesn't mean "post here whatever you like about whatever topic You like, just mention something about council in one random sentence, and it's okay".

I expected a little more grown-up behavior from You... At least not publicity pushing Your purely personal exchange of posts here. Use PM or E-mail guy, please... This thread is messy enough as it is.

Ps.

I coul also use PM - I admit - but I'm afraid there are more people than just geneven, who could at least consider use other means of communication, for topics *totally* uninteresting for other forum members. That's only one rationale why I also posted here, unwillingly contributing to useless fuss

Thanks Estel. I figured it would be self-obvious that the issue is with posts directed at one member by another. As you say, oblique references to the council and rhetorical questions tend not to cut it. That said, my main objection is with the bitterness. I don't mind levity. We could sure use some.

Thank you Estel and Texrat. By treating Abill_uk and his spotless behavior so evenhandedly, you have succeeded, finally, in getting rid of my scurrilous behavior. Congratulations.
