Listen, you know that scene on Airplane where everyone stands in line to hit the old lady, with all of their different weapons in hand? Well, everyone here can stand in line and have ONE shot to hit the old lady that is Phil's controversial post. So, anyone who hasn't expressed their disapproval yet, step up and without attacking Phil personally, say you disagree if that's what you want to do. You can do that once, but we aren't going to have the same people continuing to post on this subject. I think that itself detracts from the "John McVie" topic. Enough.

We aren't going to have a series of posts saying.

1. I don't like that post.
2. I still don't like that post.
3. I like that post even less today than I did yesterday.

It's senseless and it's not going to be allowed. I ask the moderators for their opinions. Sometimes we agree. Sometimes, we're collectively uncertain. Sometimes, we disagree with each other, but really when it comes to operation of the board those are the only 4 opinions that are going to be considered. I'm sorry the forum is a disappointment and has turned into something you don't like, but I know you can vote with your web browser.

I found the comment really insensitive and nasty, and posted on a thread that was started as "prayers and thoughts for John McVie", It seems to have upset many people. Can it not be removed? - on YouTube it would have been voted off
