There goes another one!


Another closed thread. No explanation. How will we ever learn? Woe is us.

I didn't really think that one needed an explanation.

Krep, overzealousness doesn't become you.

I would think that believing every consipracy theory known to man would be someone who assumes a whole lot.

Look, I let a lot of stuff go on this board, but calling someone a racist isn't going to fly.

Agreed , but once again, a decent thread gets killed completely because of a peeing contest between 2 posters. Why not just delete the incriminating posts?

Just a suggestion, but if the personal insults get edited out, it just might stop. Somehow the offender gets satisfaction when the thread is closed rather than just getting ignored.

Might as well kill this one too, Krep. It is going down the name calling path. Killing a thread about "killing threads". Man it is degenerating rapidly.

Was the entire thread dedicated to calling someone a racist?

Why not call out those who posted something bad, ban them if they continue, and let the thread go on, hopefully back on topic?

It's hardly a pissing contest. It's a paranoid obsession. The only reason I take exception to your characterization of events is that I'm not all tangled up with someone trying to come out on top. It's a consistent hit-and-run tactic by the offending poster against me in which I would much rather not be involved.

I agree that it would be nice to have the offending posts deleted so that an otherwise productive debate could continue, but that might impose an increased workload as the mods would have to essentially micro-manage.

I wasn't calling you out at all. I am familiar with the prior incidents.
