Oh, I know this kind of thing isn't supposed to be point of discussion - but I do think someone is a little bored with real responsibilities from the amount and themes of things that are closed and deleted lately.

(Hint: IS IT ME??? I DON'T KNOW, PLEASE MAKE A FUNNY COMMENT ACCORDING!!!)

Put an end to popups!

As I've said to Ming, the thread title was a rhetorical question meant for debate - not a condemnation.

...and as I also argued, the only ones who would support his action were those who consider themselves "old", yet most of them only joking

If you started a thread saying "are gays morons" or "are blacks morons" they would have been considered hate threads. This is the same thing. You can't just pick on a group of people. It's that simple.

Horsie,

is your reasoning now something like this?

Ming = a net nanny that doesn't understand teens
AH = a liberal person who understands abit everyone, but especially the youth in a such cruel society



* Rasbelin assumes this thread will soon look like the previous one.

Go away Rasbelin - you only make sense in Finland.

Zylka, Zylka, when are you going to understand? Ming spends about 5 minutes in the OT every day or so. He randomly closes a few threads and bans a few people to show MarkG he's on the job and then leaves. Its nothing personal. There is no use complaining.

The title is provocative, but the underlying issue is one that potentially could have been worth discussing. It might have been worth seeing where the discussion would go, and shutting it down later if necessary, or even changing the title of the thread.

The problem with your logic Dr. Spike is that in the OTF people do not discuss much (there are exceptions, of course). They rather bash and spam than discuss!

So long...

Sounds almost like a harsh accusation and attack against "OTF only" posters, but I understand your logic and compare the situation here to CFC's much tighter OTF.

WOW, MAYBE BECAUSE I WAS SMOKING DRAINO AND HUFFING ROOFIES, RIGHT?

Looking back, I agree that the title was irresponsible... but at the same time - do you really think the thread would have been closed if the word "morons" was replaced with "frustrating"?

I didn't step too far over the line, you old f*cks!!!

[And by the way, I love my aged relatives to no end - that doesn't make criticism a non issue though ]
