"This thread has run its course and is now locked." Apologies if I have misunderstood the point of this forum but how does one other member have the authority to decide that a thread has "run its course"? The situation with French farmers has certainly not run its course and is far from over. Therefore it should be open for comment on this forum. Is it then acceptable for one forum member to apply their own censorship on what can or cannot be posted. Postings that are relevant to the ongoing situation in France should not be blocked providing that they are made in a polite and courteous manner. We are not living in China or Russia. Best wishes from Toulouse.

And the point of your answer is? How does it contribute anything?

Admin on any forum can block a thread if you don't like it there are plenty of other places to post.

"This thread has run its course and is now locked." Apologies if I have misunderstood the point of this forum but how does one other member have the authority to decide that a thread has "run its course"? Because that member is one of the moderators of the forum and has every right to lock any post they feel like. If you don't like the way the forum runs there is an obvious option.

The tone of the thread had become quite nasty + well blocked

Please don’t stop posting Mysty. Your deals and house transactions are one of the highlights of the forum for me. They remind me of the forums of 20 years ago when we were nearly all working our way through house renovations and general repairs. We are still maintaining and up dating our house and will probably still be hard at it until we eventually sell up or die.

Amen to that. Some of us are unlikely to ever finish what we have started and it is encourageing to see someone else's work.
Sadly, trolls are everywhere these days.

Forum fights only hurt the forum so time to move on from that.

How about I lock this thread now as it seems to have run it's course too.
With approval from the other mods both locked threads could be edited .. but that won't be tonight. Let me know.

This thread is now open again following removal of some contentious posts and editing of some others.
