It's the "anticipation" of threads going south, and prematurely canning them, that bothers me - plus the (deny it all you like!) hyper-sensitivity of some members. "Reporters" should sometimes be gently told they're out of line. Perhaps they are....

Sgians dubh brought up in a kilt forum? The horror! Actually, that thread disappeared so fast I never even got to read the "offensive" content.

(Sorry to be so troublesome! If I didn't love this Forum so much, I wouldn't bother.)
Was there offensive content, I didn't see any, the thread just disappeared
