DanielP,
You are constantly telling Rob how to run HIS web forum: demanding that threads be shut down etc. This is like coming to someone's home as a dinner guest and then criticizing their cooking, "Very disappointing, that dish was not cooked to my liking, once again bad cooking allowed to go on the table, despite not being what I expect." This is Rob's forum, his rules, his enforcement choices. It is a volunteer effort on his part and he donates a huge amount of time so the rest of us have this resource, in addition to having a business to run and family to care for.
If you do not like how he runs things there are other forums out there, or you can do what some other disgruntled Punawebbers did and start your own (although they pretty much created a cyber ghost town), but the back seat driving is getting old. If you don't like where a thread is going, you don't have to read it, but telling Rob how to run the site is not appropriate. Only Rob and the Punaweb operating committee make those calls; they do so with a light hand and not at the whim of individual participants.
