I got bored of the Japan thread, but on a quick count one individual posted 20 times in the last 2 pages alone (of a 12 page thread). This is a personal discussion / fixation that one person wants to get across, and should be carried on as PMs or something.
that's my 2p

Incorrect.
What happened on the Japan thread was the usual syndrome whereby a group decide to attack one poster with personal insults, then when he defends himself they say "look there he is talking about himself again"
They do this to get the thread locked.

You are so wonderfully myopic! The thread went off on a conversation about nuclear based on a post by papa woolacombe I think (or maybe it was Black) that was where the wheels got wobbly. What happened after that was ok for a while but then turned into the usual round of repetitive bs syndrome by more than one person. I left it run until totally OT images and personal remarks started coming into it, as I do with pretty much all threads, shit, if I was that much of an arse I would have banned your ass for the comments about me being an alcoholic and addict. But I didn't cause I ain't like that.
You need to learn to let go mate, you are not going to be able to educate the rest of the world from Mount Manuganuamama (or whatever it is called). Coming on here and trying to do that is going to invite discourse with a mix of people, some want genuine dialogue and some just wanna wind you up and you bite as much and more than everyone else.
Anyhoo, this is what it is and this thread will be off to it's new home very soon.
Yet to hear any more suggestions for rules on moving threads to Caught Inside, anyone?
