Its not just you. I had the same situation many times from some users (Plural) and it was hard to wish them Good Night as they could all not sleep.
Jason came out with an extra-ordinary argument that this behaviour of Paul is endorsed by Gossamer Threads. Here I see anathor classic situation!!!
It is not constructive part of the replies that bothers but that "something extra" that the poster gets by some users through the participation which is felt as unwanted. This is a bit annoying. Especially when the thread looses its main intention seeking for a specific help and changes into a long discussion or an argument focused by one particular view by one person. The main battle is protecting Alex. He never ever gave this honour to any person.
