I recieved this PM from Projekt regarding the locked Abortion Topic.
I agree 100%, and I am wrestling with my decision right now in the Moderators Forum.
Frankly clipping that thread SO early felt messed up. But the topic is SO HOT,SO ugly, and SO personal, I just felt it was the right thing to do... It's a Zero sum scenario. No further knowledge or understanding will be gained from the topic...
BUT
Is it MY place to make a decision on WHAT the board members can discuss?
I dunno and I am uncomfortable with it. Hell, I'll Post up this reply, just so folks know that I am not out there clipping threads because it makes me happy.
We'll see, I am all about debates or discussions, but it doesn't always have to be about 1 VS the OTHER. How about 1 AND 2 Moving in a common direction in an attempt to further understanding.
-----------------------------------------------
So there was my response, I posted up for the admins to discuss too...
Thoughts? Taking into account that as a Moderator I am here to fix problems, edit posts, relocate threads and topics, etc... As the CAPTAIN sees fit, not as I personally see fit or as I "LIKE".
I did not independently think to post the topic. It was raised in my fly vs bait and hook topic.
No big deal...
I have never initiated a thread that was locked before... You did the honors.. But, seriously, don't you think that the decision was a little rash? Why not let it go a bit and see if people can keep their shirts on.. You should have seen my draft of the initial text, I really tried to make it as unoffensive as possible by eliminating the quack remarks..
Nevertheless its no big deal...
