I can see now that it's gone and I don't want to make this a TAAT but that was the most appalling thread I've ever read. Some of the responses were horrific.
I realise that MNHQ cannot monitor every thread but as your mods pop onto threads every now and again. Isn't there some way you can operate damage limitation on a thread that in the beginning has several nasty responses.
Some posters just kept coming back to give the op another kicking.
It felt a bit like watching a cruel group kicking a puppy or kitten to death.
