Quick Question...

[sparky127]

Can one of the smart guys explain to me why Toad's paint thread got closed?  There was some really good info in there and I'm sure the topic hadn't yet run its course.  That thread seemed really innocent to me...

Help me out?

Random application of precautionary punishment/cancellation is how the Soviets did it.

there's a couple of posts that have nothing to do with the topic and since some people are very strict about the rules, it got locked.

that's my guess.

Seemed like a pretty obvious troll to me, just like the current 'watch grass grow' thread.

Sounded like a genuine question to me.
Why not just answer it, instead of skirting around the rules.

What rule did I allegedly skirt around?

I did answer. I said it seemed like a troll post. How else do I need to spell it out for you?

You don't need to spell anything.  Keep trying the ice.

What do you do in your spare time, when you're not moderating twitter?

I WAS on avacadoter, <TWITTER USER> they were quite insistent I never come back. I mainly use it to follow various columnists anyhow, although I DID manage to get Dagen McDowell to comment on one of my posts once

So what has happened as a result of many not being able to handle 3rd grade rules like sticks and stones…but words won’t hurt you and tattle telling is anyone can get a thread locked they don’t like?

Deleting the post and inserting Rule # seems was a better way.

That's strange. Maybe it's your aftershave.

[bj229r]

I expect I'd need to shave first

Guessing you and/or the others haven’t reported it yet?
