I think this thread should continue. Its seems its the only Lounge thread worth commenting on in BBWs/TLS's absence. Which must have some sort of satisfying irony for them if they are looking in. To answeer Daisie's question (again) - I would say they are missed even more now than I thought they were when the forum reopened 5 days ago. Wolfs comment about the Lounge moving from a comprehensive to a grammar is quite apt. I think BBW went too far some times, of course we know that. I think TLS's main error was the amount and length of his posts rather than the content. Lots of people have made good defences of these two people - and stood up to the other people who sought to attribute racism to TLS incorrectly. Its makes for an interesting thread, but for once this is not just about the thread, its about two groups within the Lounge who clash. One group has more weight than the other. If there was a button that said "I liked this post" then I feel BBW would have many more of these to his credit than reported posts. With only negative reporting on the forum, then BBW was always going to top the "report this post" charts. Since the forum has reopened the Lounge has seen much less activity.
