Well, it sure seems like the "Protest" thread has picked up where the Iraq thread left off. I have just spent a 1/2 hour editing flame posts and quotes.

Coney - not that you'll see this :rolleyes - Having someone on ignore sort of defeats the purpose of a messageboard. How many times had you had arguments going on the Iraq thread and then came back the next day saying "Wow - I was busy last night - don't remember any of it".

I was kind of surprised to see some of the threads that are allowed here (Iraq, capital punishment, abortion, religion, etc) In most other forums I visit, topics like that go down the toilet within one or two pages.
Sucks that such discussions are starting to go down the toilet here, too (though after a much longer time ) It was nice being able to see ppl discuss stuff like that without resorting to flaming and trolling. At least since this forum is based on vBulletin, it's possible to ignore ppl, like on Usenet. So far, the only thing I ignore is sigs (too many ppl making one-line-posts with ten-line-sigs. ) but it's nice to know that I can ignore ppl entirely if they repeatedly stoop to flaming and trolling. |

Anyway - I still support the removal of Hussein. It should have been done in 1991 and we're just taking care of unfinished business now.

Well, I am glad to see that everyone has kissed and made up. Now, this thread was about Dunedain's withdrawl, not a thread to restart the closed topic on Iraq. JD, it isn't easy to moderate a board this size and catch every single flame or violation. I want all of you to know that I am not happy about closing any thread that has grown to a length of mostly intellectual discussion, but when I give warnings, and more than one chance to keep the thread civil and on topic, and posters choose to defy the warnings, or take advantage of the chances I have extended to the thread and the posters, then I feel that closing the thread is the appropriate thing to do, because I by that time am given the impression that my authority as an admin is being ignored. I try to be as fair and as impartial as possible, but sometimes the posters make it difficult, and when that happens, the padlock solves the problem. Unfortunately it's the posters that did nothing wrong but enjoy the discussion that suffer.
Again, this thread is not an invitation to restart the Iraq discussion. Sorry.
