@tansyI don't agree with you.  Being new here I can readily see who is aggressive to the extreme and who follows them with hearts. These people just cannot sit on their hands and target specific people repeatedly while leaving alone those who expressed similar and in some cases identical opinions. It's almost like they want a fight, want a confrontation and won't stop until they get one.  These are the same people who complain about threads being taken down "unfairly."

If you notice, it is usually the same people who start and continue the derailment.

Agreed.

It's like they get a kick out of derailing a thread and getting it to be removed.

And they always blame others...

Posters who are complaining about shutting down threads are the same people who called other posters judgmental in the homeless thread.

But it was a repost of a deleated thread, and the mods were well within their rights to shut it down, whether anybody agreed with that decision, or not.

Regardless, use some reasonable judgement for heaven's sake. If the reason the post was deleted was negated then it's not actually a repost, it's a new post. And if there was another reason for it not to stand then why no say so.

  This is an excellent example of an inflammatory post that takes threads down the path to deletion.

  Bringing arguments from one thread to another. Attempting to get an argument started on a new thread. Calling out people who posted on a thread who had opinions different than you.

  The pattern is readily identifiable when you see it over and over.

Actually I did not comment on the homeless thread. So no opinion different from mine was argued. I was pointing out if you want a thread to stay, post your opinion without disrespecting other posters.

Or as bullying or as merely 'calling out' what they define in another poster's comments as being not appropriate when what they really mean is not to their liking... There are some posters who seem to like to see themselves as grounded, confident and forward thinking,  and merely standing up for themselves, but who, upon reflection, seem to be looking for drama if not for a fight... Then there are some who are just plain classic cases of projection, who attribute every negative motive and behavior to others when they can't see that they're far more guilty themselves...
