Is it about time to start merging all of these whinge and moan threads, and finally make a stance on them?

No offense man - but seeing this thread as a whole, it looks like you tried to create a blog - assuming that you would have any ownership rights regarding this thread and you would be able to decide who can participate with content you might want to discuss.

Despite i share some of your views, some of your responses are not really suited to create any confidence that you are actually interested in understanding deviating perspectives.

As this is imho the sole purpose of an actual discussion you should consider to change the name of the thread.

Even admitting that you tried to offer help, such posts simply destroy any attempts from you to share your wisdom:

I had some very nice exchanges in this thread, but now i decided to mute it as the thread title and overall content are not my cup of tea…

Me merely responding isn’t any of an issue, this is where many can’t handle my status, especially when they’ve got little more of a ‘comment’ than ‘you comment everywhere’ and mere reflection nonsense.
