> I think it is important for the health of Psycho-Babble that the subject line not be hijacked by the same person over and over again. People are simply replying to these posts without rewriting the subject line to excise the toll's name and to return it to its previous verbiage. Failing to do so perpetuates the person's name along threads and makes for an ugly, irrelevant forum.

I bring this up because
1) It's my impression that you are dedicated to continuing to uphold the community standards regarding civility despite the absence of the moderator. It is a goal that I applaud, so I feel disappointed to see posts that don't fit that framework.
2) I personally find it jarring and un-civil to see name-calling, and worry that it will be counter-productive, leading to more dramatic accusations of anti-semitismWould love to understand your reasoning on this point.
To your original point, I do agree that changing the subject is a good practice and make an effort to do so.
