@ Reactionary - If you feel a post is 'flamebait' then simply report it here and make sure that you do not 'take the bait' by responding to the post, especially by returning the flaming. That way it won't spiral into a flame war and further derail the thread and you wont have your posts hidden as well.
Alan - The title of your thread has been changed at your request.
(We typically have to leave a reply on the thread even if you ask us not to, however I've left mine here as it is not clear if you are done with your reserve posts).
