Could you provide a link to an RHP thread that was clearly "killed" by each of the "ways" you mention. Here are some of them:

Disregard the website's forum guidelines and/or terms of service.

Presuming to intrude on forum conversations by correcting misspellings of words which people spell differently in other countries.

Flaunting your real or assumed grammatical correctness by drawing attention to inconsequential errors committed by other forum contributors.

By making declarative statements without providing factual website references and/or thread links for the purpose of disrupting a thread's progress.

By focusing on other forum contributors you happen to dislike rather than on the topics, issues and ideas being discussed.


In each case, why not provide a link to an ongoing thread at some point in the past that was suddenly terminated by the actions by a poster(s) as you have listed above?

Do you have an example of a thread that was "killed" by someone pontificating?

Originating the thread with the intent of using it as a way of taking passive-agressive jabs at posters who are not impressed by you

It seems clear to me that this is yet another one of Grampy Bobby's general browbeating threads. so that is why I offered him the opportunity to demonstrate his sincerity and honesty ~ and that his suggested 'thread killing' actions are even remotely realistic ~ by providing examples [links to 'killed' threads' for the reasons he describes] from RHP's past.

Can you link us to a thread where this can clearly be seen to be the reason why the thread was terminated and where the thread would most likely have continued if it were not for the reason/action you suggest?

22. By carrying a knapsack bulging with a variety of ulterior motives and personal agendas,
the sheer weight of which causes the unhappy forum camper's vision to become blurred.
