People who want to control who and how replies and tell others to "shut up" are probably wrong here and happier elsewhere.

Let me quote from Additions to the FAQ and a Community Statement:

If you get into a prolonged discussion with an individual on this site, please consider whether your discussion actually positively contributes to the topic. After ten or more replies, such a thread rarely brings some technical result and likely has devolved into an emotional battle. As it takes at least two participants in such a thread, consider agreeing to disagree and stop posting to that thread, no matter how good you think your cause is, and no matter how wrong you think the other side is.

I think this applies here, so please (re)consider whether your contributions actually help the discussion forward.

Well I wouldn't call two replies a prolonged discussion.

Neither did I repeat arguments nor have I been emotional.°

Regarding the FAQ I couldn't find a section regarding posters who want to control who and how replies as if they owned the thread. (Why?)

This "requirement" is completely against the mechanics of a discussion board and probably better achieved in a blog.

IMHO this should be addressed in the FAQ!

I could elaborate more on this but I somehow don't want to get into a prolonged discussion anymore. ;-P
