Ah, then you are obviously misguided. Scones are far superior, and infinitely more civilized.
I've never had a scone, but I'll wager that a canolie (I prolly spelled that wrong) could beat a scone's socks off.
Take this example. There's a thread. There's trolling and disagreements and flaming. The thread gets locked. All the comments are still left there, though.
So since we gravitate to locked threads like bees to honey, they're still read and still reacted upon. Either here on the boards in another thread, or in IRC, or PMs, or whatever.
I myself would like to see more posts edited for content rather than a thread just locked. That way the problem doesn't exist anymore. I know the word will still get around about it. We all ask about posts that are edited. But the post won't be there for someone to see and give a link to and reference back to, etc etc.
I think editing in lieu of locking would assure that we can keep some threads that are getting a bit heated from becoming flaming piles of poo.

I do not agree that editing threads would help. It would make the people who got edited all that more upset, even it was just a joke that was edited.
Also, the mods would then become the ultimate word on what could and couldn't be said, I do not like that idea at all. I just know I'd not like if one of my posts was misunderstood or taken out of context and edited.

Everyone knows that once a thread is locked, new threads on the same topic are verboten. And PMs already have an ignore function, if someone is trolling via PM. IRC is a different venue entirely.

If they were innocent bystanders then they wouldn't have done anything to get banned.

Exactly my point. 
BTW. . .what's with the name colors?
--Satan, quoted by John Milton
This is an individual polling of opinion, so Drys can see what people are interested in. You gave him yours. I gave him mine. A rebuttal to my commentary is quite pointless, as I didn't say your suggestion wouldn't in any way function. I just don't find it personally appealing. There's certainly no need to *campaign* for any option, especially since this is just to shape his thoughts. He still has final authority, always.
Any actual disagreement with my opinions should be taken out of this thread and to PM, because I don't want to shape anyone's personal feelings on this choice with a debate. ESPECIALLY in a thread created because Drys is being annoyed by arguments between factions. This effects everyone, so it'd be nice to see everyone respond based on their own honest opinions - not based on a debate between a set number of sides trying to present their own agendas.
Further, simply because you think apathy is somehow noble doesn't mean the rest of us ought to. The world would be a shitty place, indeed, if everyone followed your advice and simply let things happen as they may, with no effort to shape them for the better.
Do what you will, but rest content knowing you do so only because others take the initiative to make the world safe and civilized.

Thank you for speaking up on this, Drys. I figured a stupid argument would crop up at some point in this thread - irony is too strong for it not to - but I was trying to make sure it would not involve me.

If I'm not getting a response, and you're washing your hands of the affair, then why did you PM me multiple paragraphs of explanatory drivel?

Actually, PMing someone ridiculous insults is rather childish. If you haven't the balls to say something in public, it's probably best left unsaid.

Nice to see that even Bloodsage has a point where he can figure out that I'm not posting out of concern for his lack of things to pontificate on. Given that he is the only person to repeatedly foist arguments onto me, maybe now I might get more peace.
This is the last you shall see me speak of him, though doubtless he has more to say of me. He doesn't ever seem to leave posts unanswered, even if it involves placing replies in a thread which does not contain the messages to which he refers.

That's pretty funny.
When I said it was hypocritical of you to swear start insulting me via PM, you said you were simply continuing this conversation in a more appropriate venue. Yet, in the very next breath, you castigate me for not replying in the original medium?
And the moronic, "I'm just toying with you, therefore everything I say is stupid and pointless on purpose," doesn't fool anyone.
