Why is it absurd to say that a poster does not own a thread.I assume you're asking a question. No, it's not absurd but it is surely reasonable to ask contributors who have already dominated (to the point of taking it over) one thread to keep quiet on another one explicitly started on a narrow remit.
Every thread on the Asylum is open to any inmate for participation, comment, and even scrutiny.
True but there surely becomes a point when insisting on doing so becomes so tiresome by dint of repetition that one is at risk of being scrutinised (so to speak) as an attention seeker.
Having a Regen, I'd like to try the tweak and have the chance to discuss the practicalities in relative peace without the usual suspects shouting from the sidelines, esp as they've already hijacked the earlier thread.
I'm not sure I'm getting it. If good manners are not explicit in the rules, they are surely implicit. No?
