It's all in the eyes of the beholder.
Indeed, and that's the thing: "thread crapping", in that respect, is usually spontaneous, and where someone simply reacts to a particular comment made, on the spur of the moment, because they find it funny, or whatever. There is never any deliberate or premeditated plan to disrupt someone's thread.

The other point worth making, since we're on the subject, is there's a misconception that if you start a thread, then it somehow belongs to you: it's "my thread"... Sorry, anything posted here effectively becomes the 'property' of the forum, and thus is added to the database, which is one of the reasons why we don't delete user accounts, and only delete posts or threads under exceptional circumstances.

"Gerroff of moi thread!" It's like a farmer shouting: "Gerroff of moi land!" - the difference being that the farmer is entitled to shout that, as he owns the land. That's not the case here, as no-one 'owns' any of the content submitted. Some folk may wish to bear that in mind.

Marco.
