Not good enough Bugsy.
And I dont appreciate you trying a cyber stalk to locate me. Its cheap and threatens a situation Im involved in.
I protested to Graham but he seems to feel there is sufficient security to prevent stalking.
I do not.
I protest against this attititude by leaving the site as a writer. I will be happy as an observer until security improves.
Try and remember what I said about the invader. Many, many, many christians believe in the visions and prophecies and I, like them, reckon its going to happen. You are not to cyber stalk. It wrecks a discussion site.

No no, my dear Graham, I implore you....do not succumb to the verbose Yabby's request.

Already King Motor Mouth has outdone chat show hostess, Oprah, where he's averaged a "mere" 63 blubberings per month on OLO. Some of us will not cope with more of his automated mouth overload?

And this week, his Tupperware tirades grew so tedious that even my leg fell sleep!

I think any limits at all are silly. It feels like we are being treated as children.

Some people have mentioned religious zealots, as a possible reason
for not changing the 2 post limit. I think it would actually be
a crying shame, if the threat of religious zealots prevents posters
from enlightened discussions. Easy, just scroll past their comments.

Certainly in some of the economics debates, posters such as Wiz
and myself, find the 2 post limit frustrating, as economics disccusions
are often fairly complex. I personally see no good
reason to have a two post limit in one section, four posts in
the other. Perhaps GY can explain his justification and reasoning.

As to Dickie, don't be such a sore loser. It sounded like you were
about to jump off the proverbial cliff this week. You really should
not take these debates so very personally and perhaps learn to
separate emotion from reason.

Ad hominem attacks won't win any debating brownie points, reasoned
thinking will. Reality does not go away, when you close your eyes
and wish it would. The rest of the world is not about to turn into
farmer hating vegetarians, as you might wish. Thats the reality,
face it or not. But sticking to the point of this thread might
have been the far better option.

I would like to see a one post per article per day limit, but have no problem with four a day in the general forum. The frequent squabbles in the articles shows how little some regard the opportunity to participate. One post per day for the articles might discourage the biffo and encourage a bit more thought. Leave the biffo for the general forum where it belongs.

I agree with your comments regarding the 'biffo' and feel that Yabby's suggestion of four posts a day might definitely add to the problem. But I still think two posts a day rather than one is the way to go. Having only one would be very restrictive especially when a thread is new and there are a lot of people adding input and often a lot of points to respond to.
