(...) And you're bickering with *me* (and a little grandstanding besides(1), truth be told) because you'd rather just ignore the very real problem of Scott Arthur and hope it goes away. It won't. You've enabled his behaviour. But OK, whatever. Your (...) (22 years ago, 14-May-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) Larry: There seems to be some absurd assertion that Scott A. is some kind of significant threat to the stability/civility of Lugnet, but I just don't see it. Even if I were to accept that Scott were such a threat, then I would suggest that you (...) (22 years ago, 14-May-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

Okay. I've been watching this for nearly a year, saying very little, but this thread's got my goat. Baaa. (...) Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Larry, I have always had a great deal of respect for you, even when we disagree--but this kind of thing (...) (22 years ago, 14-May-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

  Re: Block user X from replying to a message by user Y
 
(...) I agree. What Larry is doing is doing nothing for LUGNET, I wish he would just stand back and think about that. I have him told as much via e-mail. Scott A (...) (22 years ago, 15-May-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Block user X from replying to a message by user Y
 
Y'know Scott, as the other half of this particular problem you should accept a very considerable portion of the blame for it. Just because someone else has taken the opportunity to point out some of Larry's possible flaws is no reason for you to (...) (22 years ago, 15-May-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.general)

(...) None of us are perfect Richard. I have already admitted I could have worded a couple of posts a little better. I do have some humility. (...) I'm tired of it. I'm not amused by it.

  Re: Block user X from replying to a message by user Y
 
(...) I agree 100% with Richard. (...) I can see how that would be incredibly frustrating. I have my distinct opinions on who is the corrosive one, but I really think at this point both of you are devaluing the LUGNET experience for the users who (...)

  Re: Block user X from replying to a message by user Y
 
I would just like to say that the extent of the discussions that have gone on here in the Lugnet Commuity are on the whole about Lego as it should be. I don't know how to fully encapsulate my fellings on how much that has drifted, suffice to say (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

  Re: Block user X from replying to a message by user Y
 
Denying new threads would do nothing except make it harder for people to ignore threads they have no interest in, since people would be replying to current threads to fire off a new topic (more than is already done so). It would accomplish nothing (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
 
  Re: Block user X from replying to a message by user Y
 
(...) I'll add my voice in opposition to this proposal also. It will result in a couple things: - it will do nothing to stop the current debates, there's plenty of existing threads to hang off of - it will clutter other threads with debate (right (...)
