I don't think I've ever rejected as many posts in one FML as I did for this
issue.  Today's FML was nearly 2000 lines long before I removed the rejects.
And, still, there are a couple of posts in here that are questionable.  I
probably should have gotten rid of a couple more.
 
This debate started by comparing Modern Ferret to magazines published by
Fancy Publications.  That's certainly a fair topic for discussion.  But
something went very wrong very quickly: I'm receiving post after post
containing very little factual information yet lots of personal attacks
and very UNconstructive criticisms.
 
It's time to call an immediate end to the topic.  I usually give gentle
reminders a couple of times before ending a topic.  But not this time --
in my opinion it's out of control: all further post on the topic will be
returned unposted.
 
Thanks for your collective understanding.
 
Bill
