One thread that gets just a little argumentative about a topic, of all things, autoimmune disease, and gets closed down.

Another thread that is clearly political and about a hideous topic, and is still humming along.

Ford, there is no rhyme or reason why certain topics stay. It's why I limit my posting here. There's a thread on Viewpoints where someone is denigrating feminists and it burns me to the core, but I just sit on my hands because people like that are set in their ways and voicing my opinion is useless. Yet that OP's threads are left to stand and clearly they are inflammatory and purposely designed to stir.

Hi, Ford! At the risk of being told I'm lecturing . . . I know it's frustrating but I've come to the conclusion we have to see each thread/post as something ephemeral. I've learned the hard way if a thread has some information I want/need to keep for future reference (health info, etc.), I make a quick copy in case the whole thing gets zapped. The moderation here never will improve, and (in my opinion) it's obviously heavily influenced by the bias of the moderator(s) on duty at any given time.

Excellent post, SoftRaindrops.

Speak up....don't let a small minded person control what you want to say. if you do, they win.

That person lives for the dividing.

I was in that thread at one point (didn't know it was deleted, though) but then it went sideways and that's when I just leave the thread. It's too bad, as for a little while it was about ONE THING and it was a good conversation.

That's one irritating thing about this board - nothing can ever be just about what it's about. It always has to become about all kinds of other things. That's usually when threads go south and become unbearable.

Oh well

Hi Melania. Somehow, I don't think she's worth the trouble.

Thanks Doobdoo.

We should all put a political candidate into our signature line just for the heck of it.

You are so right!! She lives to stir and divide. But it's not right that her nonsense gets to stand and Ford's thread she was on doesn't.

Health issues being discussed over deliberate troublemakers should be the priority.

Have a great day, Soft Raindrops!!

ETA: Her sig line violates community standards. Everyone needs to let the QVC social team know it.
