Asiris,
Yes, what you see as controlling is moderating. I am moderating this thread. I did not ask permission to do so. I assumed the responsibility.
When I urge to stay on point...it is because I view these attempts to engage personality as petty and distracting and in my experience usually lead to bickering and personal attacks of character, as is starting to happen. If you have nothing to contribute to this topic then there is no reason to keep trying to derail it, simply quit reading it.
