Okay, I don't feel that the locking of the stip-club midgets thread was a big loss for the site. I don't imagine many potential members will be scared away because they can't talk about stripping midgets, nor that any already existant members will leave due to this ((severe!!!)) restriction. -laughs-

But del..., if you don't mind me saying, you didn't exactly justify closing the thread. I recognize you have a trump card over me as a moderator, and therefor don't actually have to justify your actions, but I think it would probably be the right thing to do.

Tons of threads debase certain groups of people with severe insensitivity. Stripping midgets, Wiggers, Chavs, the list can and does go on. It may have been a relatively insensitive thread, but since when are threads closed for insensitivity? I'm new around here, so bear with me, but I just haven't seen it done here before.

To translate that blatant sarcasm that I'm sure you had no trouble translating ((I just don't want you to take that opportunity to take my sarcasm seriously to your advantage)):

"I've seen alot of insensitive threads at this site. ALOT. I've seen alot of normal threads devolve into severe insensitivity. None of them have been closed without a flamewar being mindlessly started due to the easily flammable subject matter. Don't forget all the members we have that think all the little brown people deserve blowing up aren't censored. So why would the people who like to talk insensitively about stripping midgets censored?"

I'm sure you get the jist of my post, del... And I apologize if I offended you if you're a midget or close to one. But you have to keep in mind the whole "different strokes for different folks" deal. And I think you do in most cases. Which is why you don't shut down a thread every time it's insensitive.

Perhaps the stripping midgets thread deserved to be moved to sexuality rather then to be closed? Just a thought, since as soon enter the sexuality portion of the boards you're bombarded with threads that the average person would find blatantly insensitive.

I look forward to your response. No hard feelings or anything. I was just curious.
