As GNHQ has threatened to pull this thread earlier if you are watching at GNHQ I would like to repeat a point I made in answer to that issue earlier and is looking appropriate to mention again now. :-
'Pulling a thread, as opposed to deleting individual posts, is GNHQ aiding and abetting those posters, who are very often repeat offenders, to continue to carry on making personal attacks as is their want. They would love to feel they have achieved their aim to shut down anybody from holding a different opinion to them by a thread being deleted. You will be doing the job for them.'
