No. It is not a forum.

I am fed up with saying it as you only seem to want to inflame the
situation.

Call it what you will, you will not change the FACT that this NEWSGROUP is
NOT a forum.

A forum can take place within a newsgroup, yes, and I suspect this is
where you are going wrong. A newsgroup is not a forum in itself.

End.
