This forum is very popular with its regular users and all of us generally seem to abide by an unwritten code of forum etiquette; a code which ranges from avoiding the use of insults (OK most of us try) to not misrepresenting another posters words or obvious meaning, to checking back to reply to respondents especially if the OP is ours.
This latter piece has become an increasing irritant for me over the last year or so as certain posters (who shall remain nameless in this OP but we all know who they are), seem to be employing the "duck out of the debate" tactic as soon as they feel they are cornered in some way, or simply because the thread which they may have started is not developing the way they envisioned.
I don't know about anyone else here but I find this behaviour cowardly and intellectually dishonest, especially when it is accompanied by spurious excuses.
I just wanted to check in with the other regulars here as to whether I'm harbouring overly ambitious expectations in this matter?
