I'll be honest, I didn't read the OP and went straight to <Last page>.

The Forum used to be a melting pot of interesting people posting interesting views and whatnot.

Most of them got Banned for life though, I have had a Pawful of temp Ban's myself <laughs>.

So now you get Wokeproof-Kitty mode.

And this is why the Official Forums is an Extremely poor example of a Good Community.
