No, I don't mind Rob's naivety.  He does have a more kind side to his nature, which is more than can be said for some.
Sometimes it instigates discussion at quiet periods but there does come a time when I despair of the biased tit for tat arguments in which I think restraint is required.

"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

As I tried to point out yesterday, if there's only one or two active threads for a number of days - just roll with it, see what transpires. If it gets ugly wield the stick of justice.
Rob's threads have at the very least got us all providing input, irrespective of the quality or otherwise.

Rob is an absolute diamond and I've continually told him that. If he didn't live 13000 miles away I'm sure we'd be meeting up at Wetherspoon's for an all day brunch and 6 pints of Strongbow.

13,000 Miles?  Gosh, as far as that.  Could someone tell this to O'Connor?  He doesn't listen to me.  There be Badgers down there.  He thinks.

I think it was important to follow up on possible sightings.  If someone says they have a photo, I want to see it and check it out.

What I find totally illogical is that you want to check out information from any weirdo on the net before dismissing it but as regards rds The German Prosecutor you want to dismiss him before hearing what he has to say

I really don't think threads like this one lend anything to the forum's credibility or to the discussion, they are pointless and this one in particular is IMO wrong on several levels.

But at least Rob is asleep when we are mainly at it.  Phew.  Thankful for small mercies sometimes.

But mostly it keeps the whole thing going when we are in danger of being bored witless.

And I would definitely let him remove Arthur's anal adenoma.

I've asked him to do mine, he's not averse.

At the risk of another unfair 20 points today I think mods should try and keep the debate going.. Which is what most mods do. I actually admire SIL for refusing to be bullied.... Even though we were often at odds

In which case I look forward to the next thread to feature a stock photo model purported to be Madeleine by some FB weirdo for us all to discuss at length, this one seems to have run its course somewhat.

Hear hear.
It might be time for some new blood. Preferably independent.
I'd like to say the mods here are doing a great job...
