Why Exclusive Psalmody?

Moderating.
Folks, there is always the option to SAY NOTHING. But that's maybe the hardest if perhaps the most edifying thing to do, to just walk away. And if you have trouble contacting a member privately, if it is preferable, enlist the aid of a moderator to convey the message.

Please recall the PB rule below. Or consider this exhortation by James Durham (directed to ministers but there is no doubt a general application):
"Use Two. For exhortation, whether in doctrine, discipline or carriage. And it is in the apostle’s words, “for as much as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church” (1 Cor. 14:12), we had need to take the exhortation in all things to aim mainly at the edifying of the body of Christ. In every sermon, in every exercise of discipline, in every meeting together, in every word we speak in our meeting, in all the steps of our carriage, look to edify. " James Durham, “A Sermon on Ephesians 4:11–12,” Collected Sermons of James Durham: Sixty-one Sermons (Naphtali Press and Reformation Heritage Books, August 2017), 925.

PB Rules:
3. Pause Before You Post​

This is something that everyone can benefit from. Before you send the latest jab, punch, tweak, etc into cyberspace, take a minute (or two, or five) to make sure that you are doing so in a spirit of Christian maturity (cf. #4 below). Study first, pray, post after. https://www.puritanboard.com/help/terms

Give this one a rest, particularly since the appeal to see old threads was made more than once, and this one has become unedifying in tone.
