I just want the forum to be about crosswords, and not about the kind of petty bickering and abuse which was very evident on all the "threads" to which I contributed the gentle reminder "This is a crossword help forum". I wanted to bring us back to the original purpose of the forum.
There are contributors to this thread who regularly try to bully others into posting only opinions with which they agree. There is ample evidence that this has led to the departure of several folk who were, and could have continued to be, very useful contibutors to the site in terms of crossword help.
