Thank you Paul for stepping in and locking it.

Everyone, over the last twelve months we have seen several blood baths on here where newer members were attacked and left. Not only that but several highly experienced members got offended enough that they rarely post anymore.  They just got tired of having to defend half of what they posted.  That included some who used to write for BCM and even some of the Moderators don't enjoy interacting as much as they used to.  It was decided then that threads that go down that road would be locked.

RickB has a point, sometimes we are too careful and wait too long to step in.  And indeed, we probably should have much sooner. But sometimes it is a challenging judgment call as to when it should be cut off.  That is the reason for locking pending Moderating Team review.  If the team is in agreement, then it will stay locked, otherwise it will remain locked. "Back to bussin'.  Nothing to see here."

Sometimes people feel like it gets cut off just before they get to make their counterpoint that will set everything right.  But we have been around this block enough times to know that such arguments can never be won.  They just spiral down until they hit the ground and there are lots of offended people, and a few lost members, and the community is the less for it.

Bottom line is, this forum is at its best when it is a bunch of friends helping each other.  Attacks and flame wars that disrupt that should not happen and must be stopped when observed by or reported to Moderating Team members.

Lot of the time it starts on other boards and come to head here over something others have no idea about what happen or the reason but life goes on

Seems like this one started on some RV boards about 11 years ago.

On the bright side, I just spent three more hours working on my bus!!!

[luvrbus]

LOL I don't know about that one 11 years ago but I may be party to the one Mike is referring too   

[mung]

So it is all your fault!!!

Paul,

I did send a pm go you and you said that you had no need to reply.

I am finally seeing the light, the almighty dollar, 'the root of all evil of Bus Conversion Magazine feels that their bottom line may be affected if they cast principles to the wind and concentrate on what is best for them, not the members but again, them.

The irony here is that both can be done and the board, thus the magazine, can be even bigger than it already is.

However, stifling the free exchange of  information by letting a few trouble makers thumb their noses at the members is akin to letting a thug to keep throwing turds into the punch bowl rather than letting the guests hash through the problem.

That's all, Folks.

We need a big red emergency stop button on every thread. When some number of members push it, the madness stops.
