someone is starting silly topics in the wrong area as well as being caustic and rude. Pity seeking to ambush people into his conversations in which he knows are controversial, and has been voted out of the proper forum because of it. Thus he chooses to post in the wrong forum where people may or may not be familiar with his crass style of baiting people into arguements.........where is the moderation button and how does it work? I have never had the desire to use it but this is really bad.

If it is a new topic, you should be able to delete the topic, is this what you mean?? I'm sorry I don't understand....

Puffins.
I hope it is not me because people have called me all kind or deragotary names when others tell them the bull is pregnant and they take it from there and I NEVER tried to muzzle them.
So when they are not able to win their point THEY MIGHT GANG UP AND TRY TO SABOETAGE ME.
If that is the case, should I not get these contribtions and seek to have them disiplined or expelled?
Their contributions are right there.
And they might seek to erase evidence of their trumphed up charges and weak arguments and afflict others.

Please be cautious using the delete thread button. Personally, unless it is way to disgusting or obscene, I do not use it. I just do not read any more of the topic. I respect anyone's right to post their thoughts and discuss them with others. as for posting in the incorrect forums, perhaps they felt it belonged there, so that is where they posted. Our individual judgements on topics are perhaps not the same. Once again, If you do not like the person, their mannerisms or their attitudes, simply do not participate in their post, however, allow the other members of the forums to make that judgememt for themselves. Please do no baby sit all of us based upon your preferences or feelings.

It is not anyone that posted here. As far as opinions, well yes, freedom of speech is important, but when someone is deliberately troll it is our right to stop them cold. I have never used the feature or even been temped to but tonight is a different story. Someone flaming and inciting anger and exchanges of a derogitory nature shouldn't be allowed to continue being an azz. THat is what the moderation is for. I never participate in this and it seems that those who do are shot down. I agree it is a sucky way of moderating, but if it is the only way, then hey, use it. I can see that I am going to get any useful remarks or help on this subject.
