@justvintagestuff what does TNSHO mean? And could you point to the thread where you found this topic as I am interested.
There is always a tension on forums between new members and old members regarding discussions which have happened before. Older members seem intolerant of newer members wishing to open debates again. I don’t understand why older members can’t just ignore the thread and move on, as you say. But for whatever reason they seem unable to do this and instead want to tell you what you should or shouldn’t post, their seniority (in terms of posting numbers or years on the forum) giving them the right to do so. Often you’ll be told to go and search for a previous debate on the subject as if that had not occurred to you.
Best to ignore and post what you want to post. If it’s a controversial debate then the people who are exhausted debating can keep away.
