I hope the following article is helpful in illuminating some of the dynamic behind this thread. It's clear that 'absent friends' regarded themselves as having some sort of 'editorial control', not realising that the site proprietor has that privilege along with the moderators.
I also hope this uncomfortable and discordant thread now slips into a gentle coma and a painless death. One can only hope that the overt attempt to seize control of this site is resisted at all times in the future, especially if troubled soul Morrissey reattains some mainstream popularity which brings 'newbs' to this lair. May they be free to express themselves without being hounded by 'tg;dr' redundancies.
"The word once had quite a specialised meaning, but it has now become a catch-all term to describe any behaviour that some editors or columnists deem inappropriate"
