BenCodie, you know I respect your outspokenness and your willingness to be a bastard when need be, but I think you might be chasing your tail on this particular issue.  I will admit I didn't go back and read everything in those threads, but what it looks like is that you want to continue an argument that JollyGood no longer wants to.

That same thing happened to me with TECSHARE a while back.  We had some stupid beef and he just wanted to keep trying to win whatever point that he was making, and it just exhausted me to the point where I said fuck it.  But he kept PMing me and even left a neutral feedback with a veiled threat in it.  So I guess what I'm saying is to not be a bulldog all of the time, especially when the member you're barking at has said sayonara. 

Locking a thread isn't censoring; it's just giving a signal that the OP no longer wants to keep the debate going.  Know what I mean?
