Let me quote from Additions to the FAQ and a Community Statement:

If you get into a prolonged discussion with an individual on this site, please consider whether your discussion actually positively contributes to the topic. After ten or more replies, such a thread rarely brings some technical result and likely has devolved into an emotional battle. As it takes at least two participants in such a thread, consider agreeing to disagree and stop posting to that thread, no matter how good you think your cause is, and no matter how wrong you think the other side is.

I think this applies here, so please (re)consider whether your contributions actually help the discussion forward.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Well I wouldn't call two replies a prolonged discussion.

    Neither did I repeat arguments nor have I been emotional.°

    Regarding the FAQ I couldn't find a section regarding posters who want to control who and how replies as if they owned the thread. (Why?)

    This "requirement" is completely against the mechanics of a discussion board and probably better achieved in a blog.

    IMHO this should be addressed in the FAQ!

    I could elaborate more on this but I somehow don't want to get into a prolonged discussion anymore. ;-P

    °) well probably snarky but this requires no emotions on my side ;)
