My personal opnion? This thread is no longer contributing anything worthwile to the board. Were I mod (and I was once, a long time ago on another board). I would probably lock the heck out of it.

But that's just me B)

It's not just you.

But then it's not just me.

It stays open as long as it remains on whatever sterile rubbishy topic of futile nonsense hatred it ever pretended to be.

For the love of mercy, Jim, lock it, or we'll lose our souls from all the vitriol.

I'm saying this seriously: Lock it.

May I echo Santa? I feel all warm and fuzzy inside to have you toying with us again like a bored tom cat playing with a half dead mouse. Or maybe I'm feeling like that because I'm watching The Aaprentice and it's great to see all that self-belief collapsing in front of the cameras yet again...

That my trademark, Jimmy? B)

Regardless, it seems there's only one way to stop this nonsensical bickering: Lock the thread.

Why lock it??

If you're going to lock this, you should have locked the thread with QOS's Box Office Details, because in that one HildebrandRarity used a similar kind of epithets against his detractors.

Many of us have sustained heated dicussons in these threads, especially regarding QOS, but I think that the only person who have recurred to personal attacks- even if they aren't focused on one specific poster, but against anyone who disagree with his opinion- is HildebrandRarity.

I agree. Just lock it. Quantum of Solace has divided us enough on here, now some of us have lowered ourselves to personal attacking. Are we any better than CNB'ers? In this case I highly doubt it.

Oh and there we have it! Everyone cast their eyes on this jester! The Great Hildebrand Rarity who is obviously revelling in creating havoc on what was once was a happy and positive message board.

This thread was negative long before Hildy showed up in it. If anything I blame this thread for causing havoc on this board and not Hildy, who was merely responding to all the negativity.

Sensualist likes to provoke.

If I shut this, what happens? CBn gets/continues the impression that it suppresses any anti-Mr Craig/Mr Craig's tenure commentary, when actually it's only anti-cretin.

To get thrice banned is some sort of achievement for Mr Tanveer, admittedly.

You're forgetting Richard's attacks on Zorin, as have been documented earlier in this thread. Don't pretend Hildy's been the only one...

Well, perhaps you're right about that. But let's not say that many of us have descended on personal attacks, because that's far from the reality. Personally, I have had heated but civilized discussions with all of the posters, except for HildebrandRarity, and I don't think that I'm alone on this.

With all due respect, the post he just made containing a mere 'B)' obviously isn't helping the situation.

When more attention is being paid to the messengers than the message, something has gone very wrong.

This thread is closed. That doesn't mean that any critical threads cannot restart but some persons appear too thick to appreciate that one may criticise without abusing. Quantum of Solace is imperfect. We need not expose our own imperfections in so observing.
