I too agree that it isn't fair to close threads because a minority didn't like the discussion. If there is flaming, fine - but if certain people don't like the topic, then they should stay out of the thread, not try to get the thread closed.
That comes fairly close to book-burning if you ask me. Sorry Ziroc, I hate to disagree with you. ------------------ Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Truth to tell, I really didn't see anything in that post that warranted closing it at the time...but that's Ziroc's call, not mine. He knows what's best, and it's his decision, everyone.
Please, let's just all calm down and take a deep breath. Dang, but I wish I could bring in a "stress-buster" in here! ------------------ |

Uh, not to be difficult here, but did anyone stop and think that maybe the emails Z got said that somebody thought they WERE flamed? I don't know, obviously, but I suspect Z takes that sort of thing into account when making decisions like locking threads.
Ok.. I need to leave.. I'm really getting defensive, offensive and frazzled. Cloudy ------------------ Raindancer of the Laughing Hyenas Clan CloudDragon of the OHF Storm-Queen Raven's Cloud StormCloud of the Black Knight: Heart Mind Soul Forever "To sleep, perchance to dream..." |

OK, I don't know what was said to Ziroc, but then neither do you. Which puts you in no position to go telling anyone off for asking. Please don't take this personally, you know I think you're a great person, but the question was put to Ziroc. ------------------ Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Man, I took some heat but I didn't email Ziroc. I wish the thread wasn't locked and that the forum wasn't split, but I also care about the feelings of you guys, and respect Zirocs decisions. He's easily the most tolerant, light handed forum administrator on the net and I support his decisions 100%
