I was thinking that as well, but I thought it would be better to leave that to a stronger voice.

I sometimes wonder if a sensitive topic is only started to "throw a bone into the cage and lean back and see what happens next" but that would be a bad attitude, wouldn't it?

Edit: I have to say thank you to the really good work the moderators do!

In this, you will find the Ignore List is your friend. Removes the temptation by hiding the source of it. You can't reply to what you can't see.
