Sorry to hear that but from now on, I am enforcing the following policy:
1) All my threads will be self-moderated
2) Anyone who resorts to personal attacks, calling people shills, scammers, etc... I will place on ignore
3) Anyone on my ignore list will have their posts deleted from my moderated threads
Civil discussion is welcomed but the personal attacks and baseless accusations have to stop. The problem is that the volume of noise has become so overwhelming that it makes actual discussions impractical.
