It's nothing more than an invitation to continue the flame wars.

Actually, it's an attempt to get them to stop. Why would I want flame wars? THey cause threads to be hidden, locked, or deleted. It is in my interest to prevent the flame wars to prevent the hiding, locking, and deleting of threads.

The trouble is that one side wants flames and the other doesn't. ONe side tries to avoid hitting abuse and the other relishes it.

If all someone has to do is hit abuse to move a thread - with no qualitative judgement made on the post then no progress has been made.

Anyway, I do appreciate your attention to the matter.

LOL, what kind of warped sense of reality you have. These threads have been going on constantly since 1999 and anyone who dares dissent from the fairtax theology is immediately attacked. To try to claim the high ground on who wants a flame war is laughable. But keep on whinning, I am sure you are scoring major points.

Why do you assume no qualitative judgment was made?
