I've bumped old threads because they contain pertinent information.
Yes many are laced with insults but I do not quote the insults.
Really stupid imho to close a thread that has been bumped and is rolling along insult free because of some insult from a year ago. Why not just delete all the old threads if one is that worried about a poster reading a year old insult?
The rules are no more insults. It makes sense not to quote old insults but some of these threads are still relevant.
Case in point Mike Flynn. Back in the news and many posters were correctly pointed out to be wrong in their analysis.
Not sure why the lock if there are no longer any insults being bantered.
