All the mods said was that attempts to make the discussion on this thread only about whether James O'Brien is a good presenter or not are no longer permissible. I think the issue here is that this is an LBC General Chit-Chat thread, and yet 90% of the discussion regarded one presenter alone and not the rest of LBC. As long as the James O'Brien discussion is kept in proportion to everything else, and there aren't endless debates on aspects of James O'Brien not relevant to his programme, then there's nothing wrong with it, as that is what this thread is for.

Yes, and I think it's a good idea from the mods. The main thread for people with moderate or reasonable views to have an intelligent discussion, another thread for people to spout hatred about someone they have no justifiable reason to dislike.
