MikeG,

I agree with you that the name of the thread is a trivial issue, but are you defending the train wreck that this particular FMF thread has become?

I too agree that the name of the thread is a relatively unimportant matter (and I also agree with the notion that the (now-temporary) change to "Who killed Meredith Kercher" was in no way a calculated "anti-pro-acquittal" move). But just as an interesting observation:

Title of the new ISF continuation thread, created Friday evening (UK time): The trials of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito

Excerpt from my post on this thread on IA, posted Friday afternoon (UK time): The thread should, IMO, be titled either something like "The Meredith Kercher murder trials" or "The trials of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito"

Just a coincidence? Perhaps. But either way, I do feel that the new title is far more appropriate (and, for that matter, more relevant to what's actually being discussed within the thread).

PS: I would not be in the slightest bit surprised that the ISF FMF thread about "how do you want the K/S thread to be moderated?" has turned into a complete train wreck. I always felt that the title alone (while probably well-intentioned) was an open invitation for the "usual suspects" to pile in with their predictable toxic mixture of vitriol and mockery. I would hope that the agitation and aggravation might simmer down in several more days, at which point I might be tempted to have a look-see and maybe post some thoughts.......
