WHAT in the World Happened ?? with that thread

[retailguy]

I agree that LOCKING threads is a good idea if things really get heated and ugly. But pre-emptive locking: nah.

Harlan,

You and I have sparred in the past about similar issues, however, in this case I think you are right on the money. Bretsky, I think you minimize the situation a tad bit. Things don't get "out of control" over one decision, but the cumulative effect of many. The "cumulative effect" starts with ONE.

Honestly, upon reading the thread, I see ZERO reasons to lock it, unless there is a bunch of information we don't have.... which would not be a good thing.

In the end, the "mods" can do whatever they want whether I like it or not, however, it seems that the stated "mission" is being amended. If that is the case, the general "peon" membership is entitled to be told.

All in well in Packer Rat land

Why? Because you said so? Seems to me that Harlan said he didn't think all was well. Why is he wrong?

[Pack0514]

I liked it, because nothing good was going to come of it. I saw spiteful words coming. The site is back up. The site is back up. I used my best judgement on the matter.

Partial sure is taking a roasting!

i wouldn't blame ya for locking this baby, P.

I looked at the thread again, I can see how someone might have thought a fight was breaking out. So I think we can give Partial a break. This time - next time we cut off the little fascist's balls.

Well, who cares if it "looks" like a fight was going to break out? Shouldn't we wait for the fight to actually break out?

Look, I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but what is to stop someone from "banning" someone because it "looks" like they're going to become a hacker.

I just didn't like partials response of "I saw spiteful words coming." My Wal-Mart crystal ball never seems to work that well. I'd like to hear him defend that. Seems to me that "IF" he over-reacted he could unlock the thread and all us chickens could quit clucking.

well, ya, I agree. but lets give Partial a pass. I expect he is in tears right now, turning-in his badge to Madtown.

Either that, or he's determined that we're "Kurds" and need to be gassed...

[Harlan Huckleby]

doesn't matter. Mad has final say in all executions.

Is that supposed to make me feel better? Or just get me comfortable for the final execution?

[the_idle_threat]

It is to inform you that the method of execution is being strung up and beaten with a stick.

[Harlan Huckleby]

last meal: tacos. fucking tacos.

If I had to be executed, which there are some out there that think I should be, I would eat the worst two day old mexican food they could round up. that way I would leave one hell of a smelling mess for them to clean up.
