The feature has good applications, I'd rather not see it removed. Stop it.

Where's Waisz? had this to say about Optimus Prime:
Get ready to lock this thread; it might get messy.
Don't really care. It needed to be said, it can be said. I'd rather not see the feature removed because people got a jimmy jumping on the bandwagon.
I Drysart will only let you us moderate yourselves ourselves for as long as you we aren't abusing the ablities I have given you. he has given us.

Burger had this to say about Punky Brewster:
I was asked to lock mine, so I did.
Yeah, I know.. This is directed specifically and the people who bandwagoned it.
Deth who did exactly what everyone bitched about being done with it in the first place. D, Bajah and Naimah.
Note, they are all friends, but they are still being dumb. And it was meant as a deterent before anyone else started jumping on too.

Check out the big brain on Naimah!
Well Trill requested OldHickory lock the thread. That was preempted by parce locking his thread because he had gotten what he needed out of it. Then it just kinda snowballed.
Those two are what the feature is for. Locking before, or after, the thread turns south.
After that, the bandwagon thread locks were lame.

The second thread didn't involve you. You could have left it well alone.
Old Hickory's?

Naimah had this to say about Cuba:
Yea, it had your name in the title but was more about the correct use of words and agressive tone of his questions.
And the fact that he asked her a direct question in the first paragraph, to which she merely replied that she'd rather discuss it in PMs.
I don't see where she caused a problem for you to spout 'you could have left it well alone' because that line right there makes you sound like you had every right to be in the thread and she didn't.

Naimah wrote this then went back to looking for porn:

Because he was asking me the questions...
You guys got to it before I even woke up.
And I know better then to explain my beliefs out on the open board, so he locked it and we took it to PMs. End of story.
Of course she was OK being in a thread that referred to her by name...

DO NOT attempt "Last Word" threads or "bandwagon locks". Why? Because they will fuel more of them and/or posts like this. I.E. More flames.
The Government does not like Flames, they make The Government sad. So please, next time you think about doing something like that, think of The Government.... Or Else!

I will agree, however, that if he did close that thread himself then he shouldn't have. I think he's sleeping now, but when he gets online I'm going to ask him if he was him or if it was possibly a moderator. And I've suggested he reopen it if he did close it.
So I agree there. But Deth isn't the first ever to do something like that.

We wern't defacing her character merely discussing off of a tangent that begun because of a previous conversation. No one has a right to be in any thread any more then another, this is a public forum and sometimes threads that may rub you the wrong way will come. You should turn a blind eye to things that don't directly deface you. Public discussion is the lifeblood of this group. Don't staunch it, please.
If he wanted to ask me questions, he could have (and ultimetly did) use the PMs. That's what they are for. And had I started answering them out in the open, there would have been a huge flame fest and either he or a mod would have locked it anyways.
Now, if you want to continue this, PM me.

Gydfather thought about the meaning of life:
Naimah, how do you formulate your opinions on issues like these? Dice?
Dude! That's a great idea!
I'll start rolling a D20 to determine my stance on every thread I read! 
Why have I not thought of this, before?!
If you only want to use PMs what is the point of not just using E-Mail? It would take a whole lot less overhead.

You say public discussion is something that shouldn't be staunch it. You say it's a public forum and yet you say she should have left the thread alone? You weren't directly defaced in the thread - why did you go posting in there? You should have left it alone.
You, sir, are being a hypocrit.
And nowhere did she respond to the thread saying she was feeling defaced. THE THREAD WAS DIRECTED SOLELY AT HER. You can ask Old Hickory yourself if you don't believe that. Hence why she requested being approached through PMs.
Politics and Religion will always have vastly different beliefs and cause arguments, so private discussions between people will always win out there... public debates on those subjects ALWAYS eventually go south. [ 06-12-2003: Message edited by: LOG ]

This applys to no one but me so why should it be in public view?

Naimah stopped staring at Deedlit long enough to write:

DO YOU NOT READ THREADS LIKE THAT IN THE PAST???
They *ALWAYS* turn into huge flame fests. I think there MIGHT have been one that didn't.
AND DID YOU NOT READ WERE I SAID HE DID COME TO ME IN PMs??
And the email thing... what the hell does it matter to you? Email or PM, it's a PRIVATE conversation.

Incorrect. YOU made this public and did not ask to be approached through PMs, as she did. If you wish to make it private and away from the public eye, just say so.
Old Hickory isn't a big forums user and once he was made aware that it should be in PMs, guess what he did? That's right, he took it to PMs.
