OK, what made my poll about Infatuation so insulting or anything...?

[Ecthy]

...that it actually got deleted (which apprently happened).

Reall, there was no offense intended in it... If I had a bad choice of words there, tell me about it, I'm only learning the language... apart from that, I don't think there was an offensive character in it...

- the poll asked whether or not it is true that Spink had turned into a conservative

[Ming]

Whenever you do a poll about a member... and/or include his name in the title... the odds are, the thread will be toast.


Case Closed, or in the case of most threads like yours... Thread Deleted.

[Ecthy]

Well, that sounds pretty superficial, but the issue is just too small for arguing

I won't complain, thanks for the explanation, I'll be fine

And another cheer for the road crew (read: site administration) !!!

[TCO]

It's funny when people start a thread about their thread being deleted or locked. Just take it. The gods don't have to be fair. They just are.

[KrazyHorse]

If you complain about something in a reasonable manner, the gods might decide to alter their behavior. Otherwise, why do you bug DanQ so much about server upgrades?

[TCO]

Yeah, it's just a different mindset, I have, Kitty. Being banned or having a thread locked doesn't bother me. I still have drinks with Ming or MTG.

The site technical, format and business issues interest me way more. But I could see how the "free-speechers" think their cause is important. Maybe only thing that is slightly interesting is the personal offence people take to their own words getting affected. (versus general "free speech" agitation.)

Stefu had a funny parody of the normal angry "I've been banned thread", ironically over on FFZ after MTG had banned him.

[Ecthy]

Why can't you just shut up and let everyone have his fun with Apolyton?

[TCO]

Peace...

[Provost Harrison]

Sometimes I think the anti-whingers whinge more than the supposed whingers...

[Ecthy]

Since I have never been famous for being an anti-whiner, it should be obvious who he is referring to, GP

[TCO]

Probably right. The brat pack just doesn't have the fire they used to...no more fun....

Where's your loyalty.

[Ecthy]

It was supposed to be a half-serious half-joke poll, no offense intended as I said.

Now looking at the recent OT development, I wonder what happened to YOUR loyalty..

[DarkCloud]

It COULD have been closed because Stewart Spink is permabanned here and you said that Infatuation=Spink
