LOCKED?????
 
But we were learning so much.

"Our denial ... our denial ... our denial"

Loop that shit for a few more months.

locked because people more than said what they wanted to say, and there might have been a little more real mileage into it, but it's been getting redundant for awhile.
ps. dont pm me with more 'points'. they're boring.

i think locking it was an excellent notion. it's one of the stupidest threads this forum has seen in a long long time.

I'm pretty disturbed by the thread being locked, too. I understand that things got heated, but this is the world forum, and that's just how things go here. There's disagreement that sometimes escalates to anger, but we tend to be able to ultimately work things out. Locking a thread like that removes that opportunity and leaves too much unresolved in my opinion. Like I didn't get to add one more crucial point about Bush also opposing stem cell research because of the same misguided reasoning he's now applied to birth control, but that doesn't mean he hates people with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's or paralysis. It just means he's made an idiotic judgement about the value of a lifeless lump of cells over living breathing human beings who have serious needs. But I guess I'll never get the chance to make that point...;)

not even close to the parallel you thought you were drawing.

Dubman, those of us who took part in that thread have actively taken part in the World forum for years without threads being locked.

I don't think I've once see anyone step in to lock a thread in all that time, and there have been plenty of heated arguments.

Why now? Did someone complain to you?

Or did the rules recently change? (Are there posting guidelines here?)

Serious question. Because unlike other forums I visit, Dirty's World forum has always struck me as an extremely self-regulating place, populated by a regular bunch of people who tend not to hold grudges. (EDIT: for the most part)

Was it really necessary?

After putting together the fact that dubman was posting his comments in response to the pm you sent to him, me, and a few others, I can't say I blame you. It's unfortunate that a shitty comment like that had to be aired out in front of the entire forum community here. Unexpected and disappointing coming from a moderator. Hopefully we'll see you back here soon, Strangelet.

no, no wait, wait!

Did y'all get a direct call from Bush someone to shut it down?
