I’ll not be posting as long as this practice is allowed.


Therefore, there is an original post (for reference) - The original post can not be altered by anyone other than the author !

Unfortunately, no software is perfect.

We might have to approach it in a different manner. Clearly, the original post is always there for reference. There are lots of things the Fire’s membership is excellent at calling out. Maybe this could be one of them.

Taking the entire functionality away because a small few may abuse seems a bit strong, no?


Apparently you don’t understand what is happening..... there is no “ original post” to refer to. Just a post attributed to a person who had no hand in typing it.

If you do understand and don’t see it as a problem meriting your attention, that’s your business.

Choosing not to post on the ‘fire is my way of dealing with it.

I wish you well.


Sorry, but you have contradicted yourself again.

Perhaps, look objectively, not emotionally !
