In your case, "less is more", keep up the good work.

You did, perhaps by accident rather than design, come up with a great idea. By copying and pasting the whole post of the person you are responding to, you maintain a record that is still there if that person deletes the post or it is removed by moderators. The whole thread may be removed by moderators of course. Either way, the Forum is not then providing a platform for white supremacists, racists or misogynists. Win -win.

Copy and paste is not required for every post, but those of us watching out for hate speech have something to refer to for further action. The moderators need to take a firmer hand with these people. It is not acceptable and never will be. Is this Board "ailing" - I don't know, but it should be a safe place to ask questions, share information and not a place of regular abuse.

Reading your posting history I see you have had a regular argument with one or maybe two individuals. My advice - ignore them. You don't have to respond.

There seems to be some genuine, well-educated posters on here who don't deal in abuse. If you read the posts of the abusers it is usually when they have lost the argument. Decent people like this should be supported and will always rally to the cause.
