@Bigli, there is no reason for you to remind folk how to ignore users if noone has asked. In this context it looks like an underhanded way of saying that someone's views aren't worth listening to, which would be rude.

There are a number of people now contributing here who were instrumental in getting a previous Shadowheart thread locked for repetitive posting that failed to show sensitivity to the fact these topics impinge on very personal aspects of people's real lives, and apparent unwillingness respect others' right to express and hold views other than their own. I do not want that to happen to this thread and consider there has already been enough warning, so if I start to get the vibe that people are starting up here again what happened with the Shadowheart thread, I'm probably going to move fairly swiftly to handing out some timeouts.

I know this might seem like a bit of an overreaction to some fairly mild posting here, but my patience hasn't had time yet to fully replenish and I'm still a bit frustrated at how much moderator time and attention a few topics and posters have consumed despite multiple attempts to clarify the forum standards.
