How about a jolly leaving do in the garden of No. 10?

Possibly not, but I think we're going to have to make some allowances here. There are some people very angry with gnif and biting their tongues to not be as vituperative in here as they'd like to be. Gnif has gone at the thread like a bull in a china shop, while admitting that he's not really familiar with the thread but has still charged on recklessly. So recklessly that, realising what he has done, he has felt it necessary to give up his moderating privileges. That leaves the people who care about that thread, some of them deeply,  to pick up the broken pieces from the floor. So if some those people's anger and frustration leaks out then I think we have to cut them some slack.

Maybe he has a problem with his piles and is a little agitated?

That kind of snide, ad-hominem remark is not helpful at the best of times, in a discussion that has already upset people it's downright inflammatory. If you can't comport yourself like an adult please go and sit in the kindergarden and let the adults talk in peace.

Oh dear, lots of upset and offended people. Perhaps you can 'report' my comment if you're feeling hurt.

Puerile and weak. I've had better rejoinders from my cat.

That I don't doubt for one moment, no doubt at all..... :-DD

I can understand that people are not pleased with it, but then still there is a better way to address it then to make these kind of comments. You wrote it your self, let the adults handle it. Adults should refrain from that sort of comments and instead try to make a reasonable point about it.

I can also understand that that is not easy, but at least try, when room has been made to have a proper discussion about the problem.

Edit: and in that respect the comments Squarewave made are definitely inappropriate here. I like a bit of humor just as the next person, but there is a time and a place for it.

So is that as far as the conversation can go? You don't like it, have a moan, then pick another moan at someone who's fed up with people whining?

That's closing discussion, which apparently you don't like.
