It would though prevent yet more ill informed potentially libelous, childish tittle tattle from being added to the previous out pourings of the obviously moderator sponsored anti XH-558 thread.

Perhaps a clean sheet thread thread would allow a period of reflection by all?

Interesting point about the clean sheet thread idea.

It seems that we mods are damned if we close threads – “restricting discussion” etc etc, and damned if we leave them open.

Thread temporarily locked while I discuss the notion of a clean sheet thread with the other moderators. Thread will either reopen, or a new thread will be created sometime this afternoon. I would appreciate your patience in the matter good people!

*UPDATE* A new discussion thread has been opened here: http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?p=998159#post998159 . This thread will remain locked. Please feel free to continue your discussions (minus the insults) in the new thread. I believe that keeping this thread open will only perpetuate the bitterness and illfeeling that seems to have dogged it. Maybe this can be avoided in the new thread? Well a girl can hope!
