I've also been assiduously avoiding saying anything about it onlist for a while - hopefully, we will now get some discussions on topic (AKA 'I've thrown out some lures, someone better answer them or I'll sulk'), but can I ask everyone - and I do mean *everyone*, including and especially the people being attacked again* - to just ignore the provocation, delete the ugly posts, and all take a breather?
Watching Blake and Avon fight is fun. Let's get back to that, shall we? (Another lure - *why* is watching Blake and Avon fight fun?)

*I *know* the temptation to respond is almost irresistable. I know I didn't manage to always resist. But I'm seriously asking that you don't answer the flames, not because you don't have the right to, just because it won't go away if you do. If no one picks up the red rag, it will eventually disappear.
PS - to anyone *else* who's thinking of leaving, can I just I wish you wouldn't, since that seems to what the trolls always want. Also, can I say that as a reluctant kill-filer, I've found a lot of the ones I'm still getting *are* still B7-related, interesting and fun to read. Try that first.
Now I promise to get back to Blakes 7.

1. Because the subject matter is real and important--they really ARE fighting over the fate of the galaxy 2. Because they'd both rather fight with each other than do almost anything else the BBC will let them do in that time slot, so they devote all their considerable talents to it 3. Because the Blake-Avon Galaxy Series games can be staged perfectly well on a BBC budget
