Thankfully when the personal atttacks start the thread will get locked if it goes on any length of time. Perhaps this thread should be locked.

I'm not sure why two people (edblysard and limitedclear) were allowed to use my "STB rules in favor of captive shippers" thread to attack an innocent ex-participant on this forum, and in the process get the thread locked, with the discussion barely in it's infancy.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to lock out the two offenders named above, rather than locking out the whole thread?

I guess I'm still not clear on how the rules work here!

Sorry if this seems like whining!
