exactly.
if it's in the main forum* and not ON TOPIC to PTK, one of the mods should use their discrection to nuke it.
that's why they're mods.
this is especially true for posts which are either just endless whining drivel, or essentially just disputes amongst individuals.
whatever the reasons, posts that belong in a PM, are veiled or targeted ad hominems, or appear to have an agenda to air things acrimoniously are not tolerated.
anyone who continues to contribute to this problem or merrily fans the flames with caustic or bitter blather should ask themselves if they want the "read-only" feature enabled for their account.
I'll be very happy to accommodate their wishes.
GLTA,

* -- the off-topic forum (at the menu to the left of your screen) can become a zoo for all I care. but if you can't have some degree of self-control when you hang something out in public on the main board, then maybe this isn't the site for you.
