OPs should have thread permissions

[pdcue]

So excuse me for being a computer nerd, but from a logical standpoint, reason would dictate that if I start a thread, it is mine, and I should own it. Inherently, as it is my thread, if I deem someone's comments as detrimental to my posting, I should be able to delete and/or block said person from my thread (not the site, just that one thread).

Just curious if you all agree with this logic, or I am putting way to much thought into something.

You should have studied less tech and more English... one does not "OWN" a
thread or even a post, so your premise is flawed.

Tho you make a good point about the annoying practice of dogfights in threads,
there is a mechanism for dealing with them by those who do OWN the forum.

BTW - as noted above, this thread does NOT belong in the Main forum - this is
NPR...

I was speaking more specifically about me asking a question, and then two people who don't like each other post their opinions, disagree and start arguing personal issues rather than the issue addressed in the thread.

As things sit now, if you report someone for being a jerk in your thread... they get banned.

I don't want to ban anyone, I just want childish name calling to be able to be stopped within a thread

Just let it go. You have to realize its not easy growing old http://youtu.be/GX-BujKNTik so being childish on the internet is not all bad for them.

Kind of like a dictatorship or a tyrant?

No offence but if everyone is agreeing with one or another then run like hell.
People are lying to you and they don't care about you about you as a person enough to correct you when you are wrong or you haven't studied something where you fully understand it.
None of us is correct all the time.

Figure it out when you were a baby you made mistakes, when you were 10 years old you still make mistakes.
When you were twenty years old you still make mistakes,
And when you turn 60 years old you will still be screwing up.
Face it you have a life time of screwing up, why on Gods green earth would you think you got it right after a life time of screwing up.....
