No one is trying to force their opinion on anyone. As has been said before, what people are querying is the fact that the normal rules of Roots chat, as we understood them, seem to have been ignored as far as this topic is concerned. I thought it was the accepted thing that after 20 pages, if you wished to continue the discussion, you started a new topic . This was in fact mentioned by Snaptoo when this topic reached 20 pages. That way things keep manageable and posts are not repeated. It is far easier to read through 15 or so pages than 80.
The other thing that people are querying is that it does not fit Rootschat's description of what constitutes an On The Lighter Side discussion, and so should be on the TOT board, where, as Greensleeves and others have said, it does not gather points and make a mockery of the whole system.
Surely, the decent thing to do now, would be for the original poster to either ask for this to be moved to the ToT board, which I doubt they will do, as that will immediately reduce the number of their and other contributers' posts, or ask for this to be locked by a Mod and then restart it on the right board.
