Your latest posts have become way too personal in your attacks on Tom. It's not just Bowser you're making uncomfortable.

I recently requested people to stop preemptively posting political messages on Flame and to go back to using CurrentEvents, saying that politics is by nature a contact sport, and people shouldn't censor themselves by choosing Flame. But that wasn't a license to engage in personal attacks. If you really can't restrain yourself, post this kind of message on Flame. You won't clutter up CE with toxic posts, and nobody's obligated to respond to an attack on Flame.

Those are the rules of engagement. Please respect them.

I'm not going to move your three attack threads to Flame, yet, because I want this policy statement to be read. But I will move the threads, or delete them, if you persist in these attacks.

Further, a little down the page, Tom wrote "This isn't as much fun for you any more, is it? Maybe I should take another break. (n/t)". While I don't want us to become vulnerable to what almost sounds like emotional blackmail, you did not have the right to respond "Go right ahead...". It's a tired old pattern, this trying to drive people off the Zone, and I won't tolerate it now with Tom. You don't get to decide who can participate and who can't. But I do. Keep this up, and it will be you who leaves.

Got it?
