That's interesting. Because I found the fact that you resurrected a thread titled "Dude f--- people" a whole lot more obnoxious. That's what we refer to as a "shit finger" topic. They inevitably end up causing more problems than allowing for friendly discussion. And since I'm so taken with all the privilege and power that comes with this position (yeah, right), it was my prerogative to close it. Trust me that at least a couple of our other mods, had they seen it first, would have done the same thing. I notice you've been in a ressurrection mood this evening. People are welcome to do that. They are indeed there if they're not yet moved to the archives. But why resurrect potential conflict-causing threads? Why not start a reasonable one of your own? Or just read? You may not notice it, but there's been more "attitude" on the boards today than normal. Perhaps it's a touch of post-holiday blues. Perhaps it's from people having been cooped up in the house with relatives too long. Whatever it is, I'm trying to moderate so that this lounge will remain, as it's supposed to, a place for friendly discussion. And not obnoxiousness. You seem to be aiming for the other alternative, frankly.

By the way, if I ever close another of your threads after asking you a question and not giving you a chance to answer it, you can always email me.
