The moderators are doing an excellent job in deleting or challenging posters whom are inappropriate or out of line. They may not catch every slip but in general I think they are doing a good work. So cudos to the unsung, unpaid moderators.

Oh, it's much worse than that. In the same post the op uses 'who' in the oblique case ("whom") to introduce a relative clause. Does he not realize that the case of 'who' is determined, in this context, by its function within its own clause?

I would make a comment about the subject of your post, but that would earn me another ban whether it's for or against.

“Discretion is a virtue”. I am not too virtuous at times but most of us would be well served by following that saying. Just sayin’

Actual adage is "Discretion is the better part of valor" .... in other words, "Pick your fights." Or .... "Only attack people you can beat," which is pretty close to "Just be a bully." So now we are saying, "Bullying is a virtue."

I think there is More bickering around here, not less, and troll threads like this one are the cause.

Think most have been soooo busy writing down ******* phone numbers, we haven’t had time to argue.
I had no idea I had so many freaking options, I’m now investing in the Chrurch & Dwight company!

I belong to a photo forum where this is the case as well. Though I'm not recently involved in this type of photography I often go there just to hang out because the atmosphere is so good. I briefly thought BF would be similar and rejoiced, but to my disappointment that didn't last long. I would totally be in favor of more policing of behavior here---it would be a better place.
