Gentlemen,
Threads generally get locked or disappear due to rules violations, RSP, or some variant thereof.
The "humor" in Mola's OP was good, and the lesson could be applicable to a WHOLE LOT of topics. I liked it. But then I kept reading ... and some of you had to "go there" ...
As to why there was a dead zone in the time frame, we take action when it's reported or discovered, not posted. Like most of you, I have a day job, and don't sit here ready to pounce on every post in every sub-forum; the same could be said of all the staff here. That the other thread laid in dormancy for several days before action was taken does not, in the least, make the politics ok.
Molakule often has funny, witty, insightful posts. This was a good one. But it took a turn for the worse, and was actionable afterward, through no fault of Mola's. I locked it, but left it there for two reasons:
1) it was enjoyable as well as sort of a mini life-lesson
2) those that dabble in RSP can see the fruits of their labors
Should I lock this thread? No. At least not until someone violates the rules ...
Should I move this thread? Eh - probably so, but sometimes leaving the dead body hanging is a reminder to everyone ...
If you disagree with me, feel free to PM me.
