another call for calm

All,

It is a sad thing to say that even though VJ is banned he / she is still dominating this forum. Or rather we are allowing that. I'm sure VJ has multiple identities on here; I think we all know that and so do the mods. But if we keep replying to all the Pravda emails, and the emails about anti-oxidants then all we do is give him / her and his / her groupies more ammunition to keep the fire going. I know it is tempting to hold these people account for the drivel they spew but by doing that we are allowing the thing to fester and keep momentum. The forum posts are sill dominated by these topics.

I think all us genuine members on here should stay clear of these posts and bite our tongue even if we have an interest in what is being said. Over time giving these people nothing to fight with they will lose interest and disappear. Otherwise these topics will dominate the posts and drive good people away

Simon,

Your advice makes sense regarding all posts that we don't agree with. Just ignore and move on. Then only the interested parties are participating and the people that don't want to participate keep their blood pressure at a normal level. lol ..

The sharing of ideas is important though. I can't count the number of times reading a post that indicates a different belief has saved me time and money.

If you can't have a respectful discussion the thread will be closed down. We don't like to close threads because, for the most part, people are respectful and there's some good information being given. There will always be those few who ruin it for everyone else.

I'm having a discussion with the other Mods as to this issue with multiple threads.
