No, not in the news section. It's a matter of central concern and every time damage is caused people ought to be able to express disapproval here. As I said, there may be differing opinions but the facts of the damage aren't open to dispute, i.e. it's real and regrettable, and there's no reason to steer clear of them.

The way I see it is. I have kept out of dozens of threads, they don't interest me, I have nothing to add to it, anything I have to say will generate argument etc, etc.

I don't see this as the same subject and I do wish to discus it with people that might have an answer. If people believe they have heard or said enough then they don't have to join in.

I can't believe that any of us here doesn't care that the monument is reported as being damaged by others that can almost certainly see the damage they are doing are what others have recently done.
