I am less inclined to do that in this case since he can post content of
interest when distracted from his pet obsessions.

Well, how very gracious of you. ;-)

And by 'pet obsessions' you include...

Yup, that's the stuff. They are topic areas that have been done to
death, positions are entrenched, and no one is listening or attempting
to see the others view point.

Except at the whole Brexit shambles untangles, new things / points
come up and therefore create new topics of discussion?

Yes, but not here.

Phrases like flogging a dead horse spring to mind.

But isn't that my call?

Sure, if all you want to do is **** off those who are prepared to engage
with you on other "on topic" discussions, yup its your call.

There may be a good forum for those discussions, but IMHO this is not it.

Agreed.

Now, when I see you trying to moderate all the pro Brexit supporters
here, who are typically the ones starting the new threads on the
subject ...?

Ah, no, sorry, I've just realised why that won't happen ... ;-)

Many I already have filtered permenently. Others start new threads
specifically on the topic, and those I can easily ignore. Some posters I
know from reputation will post little that interests me, so I can skip
them regardless of what they post.

You on the other hand seems capable of coherent, intelligent, and
interesting discussion on a range of topics, but with this Tourette's
like need to "tick" into a rant on "Brexiteers this or that", "super
majority the other", and "not proper democracy" at random intervals.
One minute the discussion is smart meters, then all of sudden we have a
diatribe on "those who voted Leave", and I think FFS give it a rest!

For the avoidance of doubt, all the sniping and crowing from others in
the other direction is equally irritating. However if you want to start
anti-brexit threads specifically, then I personally would actually find
that preferable.
