It was comments of EXACTLY this type that caused the other thread to be removed. You have become a shining example of the "hecklers in the pews". Be very aware that if this is indicative of your future conduct, your time here is growing very short.

Part of a forum's purpose is to provide a place for people to speak about their differing viewpoints. When it falls into irreparable argument or when someone starts taking potshots from the blind of a keyboard, then the purpose has been perverted into something else. And that something else is not acceptable.

Tom, there are no Scots moderators on this forum. If you visit the Portal Page and read the Welcome message, you'll see the following -

You do not have to be Scottish to post here or to wear a kilt. The name of this forum was chosen a while ago for different purposes and yet this website has evolved into what it is today. Please do not let the name deter you from posting.

We do recognize the international nature this forum has adopted as time has progressed, but the forum initially derived its name from a catchy turn of words, even though it was a USA-based site. We are always keeping our eyes out for members that we feel would make good moderators, so we're certainly not ruling out having moderators from other nations in the future.
