Voltron Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Posted November 5, 2008 Yeah, I thought about that pic but then the republican/elephant theme took over. Oh, and by the way, it does seem uncool to allow the mods to keep taking shots and responding to comments while the thread is locked. Either lock it or let it fly. I don't always feel that way about locked threads and funny mod after-thoughts, but this seems a bit different.
grawk Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 I know you know better mike. No ones' posts were "disappeared", and the thread went from being reasonable to rediculous quickly.
tyrion Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 I know you know better mike. No ones' posts were "disappeared", and the thread went from being reasonable to rediculous quickly. Maybe ridiculous to you. I must have missed the memo on the thick skin HC has shed. Seriously, I didn't see how that thread reached a level requiring closure based upon HC standards and the last minute shots taken after it was closed was also not typical of HC, imo. I believe this was different than other instances where this has happened. I still love ya Dan.
GPH Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 Why not just delete the non-sense aggressive posts and let the thread live? Political discussion is interesting when handled well. I'm just a Quebecer anyway so my opinion is worthless on this topic.
grawk Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 I dunno, I followed the same standards I always do. When people are being good natured, it stays open. Calling everyone who isn't excited for the obama administration an ignorant racist steps over that line...
Voltron Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Posted November 5, 2008 Nobody suggested that you deleted posts or acted inappropriately in closing the thread. The problem is that Reks went in and posted three separate comments including calling a member Bill O'Reilley! Oh, and Goebbels, too. You can't use a double standard for thick skins...
grawk Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 I'll reopen it before too long. I was just stopping the pissing match. I don't believe in removing content, unless they're selling something as a newbie
