(by the way Alfonse meant to say earlier, me using this topic as an example for the name change isn't a personal attack on you, just using it as an example and it was the one that was the most obvious and came to mind first)

So there isn't any evidence to back it up and just a personal theory, thought so.

Yes we know the reason you've given and considering that is the only topic title to be changed then it just comes off as a personal attack and i can understand why Ladybird thinks so on this point. Had you changed other threads, which with your criteria stated here should have been changed, then i doubt there'd have been a problem.

If I was moderating this forum I'd delete all this bickering. If I wanted bickering, I'd go to 'that other place'...

Thar be a history to that.

Wrong, it was a clever title that i suspect most people didnt fully get.

Nope sorry, wrong again. All it did was take the subject off into something it wasn't meant to be discussing.
As much as i'm sure you'd love us to pander to the lowest common denominator and call our threads "the fings wot i ave dun today lol" i and some others i'd guess, would rather keep some level of intelligence in this place. Intelligent Chat forum or not.

If you must nitpick, I did say 'it would be surprising' if it didn't go through one - would it surprise you?
As for the editing of a title, I would never haver guessed such a trivial change would evoke such tempered emotions. I've modded several gaming and general discussion forums in my spare time, at the most I get good willed banter concerning the situation. The reason was also mentioned before, but I wll reiterate for you - it was dramatically skewed from the subject matter, and as a result of the edit brought further support and advice to the topic.
Now, let's stop with holding ill founded grudges and continue with the good mannered atmosphere of the forum as before.
> The title... well we're arguing after all :)
I could put up a million topics called "Let the arguing commence" and they could all be about different things. I can see where Ladybird is coming from on that point when only her post was changed, which it shouldn't have been in the first place.
> A cover is more effective than an article anyday etc etc
In the part of your post i quoted and responded to i was talking about your comment on the articles and this monitoring body you mentioned and asking whether that is just a personal theory or if there is anything to back it up.
