I'm deleting any further posts.

Maybe you should be able to set up a different sort of thread, like some forums have, where you can have a whinge about something "close to your heart" & be able to disable comments.

That has been repeatedly voted down by the community many times over the years.

Sorry, Dave, I had quite forgotten that Black Phoenix was the OP (yep! I'm a senile old git!), & as you had a flurry of posts some time back, I somehow got the idea you started it.
Obviously, even if my suggestion was palatable, it wouldn't apply in this case, anyway.

Yeah that sounds terrible. No point in posting a thread that nobody is allowed to comment on, that defeats the purpose of a forum.

Sounds to me like some are suggesting that threads like this one defeat the purpose of an electronics forum. I'm leaning that way too.

You may be right, but I think any cure would be worse than the disease.  If I am not interested in a thread, or get bored with one I've posted to, I just tick the "ignore topic" box.  Works like a charm.

Jesus Dave, just close the thread. It lost is purpose after the first few posts.

No it hasn't, it's a place to talk about Dilbert and Adams and what's happening, and cancel culture. As I said before, it potentially impacts all of us. Things could always evolve in the Dilbert universe, so best to keep it open.

Please define "cancel culture".
