Or, to put it succinctly, so some people may perhaps have a mechanism which they could use for removing an entire topic that, for one reason or another, they have taken a dislike to?
So Lootman's "perhaps" alternative of changing the title is likely to be a better way of dealing with such cases than removing the entire thread.

I agree.
Apart from one small point - I see no evidence to suggest in any way that the referred to titles are "misleading".

One is "Fully Responsible?". How is one to even guess at the subject?
The other is "It just won't go away, will it?", which again tells me nothing. It may to you, being the OP.

How much time do you think it ought to take a poster to call their thread "Trumpism just won''t go away, will it?" rather than "It just won't go away, will it?"?

That presumes the issues can be exactly and fully summed up by the word "Trumpism".

No, it assumes that "Trumpism" is a better fit than "It", and wastes less time and causes less site user confusion.
For a relatively few seconds of consideration and courtesy it reduces the issue, even if it doesn't "exactly and fully" eliminate it.

Let's get this straight:
1. There are site rules for TLF posters, the moderators decide on their application.
2. I am not going to be told how to write my posts by other posters on TLF. (If you don't like them, don't read them)
So, you can slam that one.

Perhaps we can persuade you, and others like you, to be more explicit in your titles, and to change your ways.
