what happened...

...but the sentiments transferred to other threads.. there is definitely something in the air these days...

[GrahamB]

This too will pass, like so many things before.

Those Easter Island (or Rapanui if you like), statues always remind me of the oompa loompa song "All we own, we owe.." lol

One of the most interesting things about that thread is the fact that so many of the trolls who are regularly abusive and insulting in their posts were drawn to the topic like moths to a flame for memorable encore performances.

But they did so with a delectably defiant, balls to the walls attitude which essentially dared the Moderators to make them stop

Yes, indeed they did.

[Darth Rock&Roll]

Man, I didn't get to see any of the vindictive back biting that went on before the thread was killed. lol

[chud]

It's ok Darth, you'll get a chance to see it again. As long as mods delete threads instead of the offenders in those threads, we'll have more of the same.

[Dmitri]

I know what happened. A new thread was created where all the involved parties apologized to one another and decided to be cool and behave like grown-ups, but these two threads could not coexist so they mutually annihilated.

[Darth Rock&Roll]

ooooooh, thread/anti-thread technology is nigh!

Maybe there were just too many legal issues

I hope this doesn't seem uncivil...

But I got your legal issues right here....

You guys need to get off this banning thing. It's not going to happen and acting like it's the right thing to do is just going to put people into a bad mood.

We have peerless troll crushing skills, but the least moderation is almost always the best. Banning people is always a last resort and it takes a lot to get it there.

So please guys take some valium on this issue. Seriously.

I agree with Shawn, banning is an extreme method.

Pshaw. If everyone was as tolerant as you, there'd be nothing to disagree about, and the internet would perish! I say these comments are anti-web, and Shawn should be banished! Ban him! BAAAAAN HIMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
