Agreed. If the partcipants will behave, that won't happen.

BTW, IMHO: "P***ing" is more vulgar than "pissing" both because it makes the reader think more about the intended word and the asterisks emphasize that the word is too vulgar for polite society. It also implies that the audience (you and I) is too immature and fragile to withstand reading such a vulgar word. Couldn’t we just say that the deleted thread had degenerated into a pointless exchange of derogatory comments among the usual suspects? ****k you for your understanding and patience.

I wrote it with the asterisks because I thought (incorrectly, as it turns out) that the software wouldn't allow "pissing." I used "pissing" instead of what you wrote because it's not as wordy.
