That's taking non-modal sexual preferences a bit far even for here isn't it?

I don't think that carp have quite the same 'cuddly looking creature hiding a million sharp teeth' attitude as stoats. Your carp, generally speaking, is pretty low on the Fishy Scale of Madness. Quite placid. Stoats - I reckon the majority of them have behavioural difficulties. Not the same at all. If you want to replace the stoat with a fish, it would have to be a kipper, wouldn't it? Or at the very least, a roll-mop.

Nope, not a single stoat had been mentioned.

Incidentally the introduction of the stoat to the forums seems to have improved things far more than locking ever did.

I think you need to say

"Incidentally the introduction of the stoat to the forums seems to have improved things far more than locking ever did."

in a somewhat larger font as it's a perfectly apt thing to observe.

I accept that such a balance is needed - the mods, remember, are volounteers, and they don't necessarily want to keep reading a topic.

Perhaps a 24 hour cooling off block rather than a permanent one?

No one appears to have declared as agreeing with her, it would be very interesting to hear how her particular moral code stacks up, but I guess we will never know, unless she joins the forum.
