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?

Jollygood doesn't have to post. The point is that others are no longer allowed to post.

If you read the posts leading up to the thread lock, users were addressing flaws in JG. He locked the thread because the thread had the potential of circling to hurt his own reputation.

JollyGood has so much energy to fight others and put them on the defense, but we should sympathize when he wants to stop a conversation when he is the defensive side?

Sorry TSC. That doesn't sit well with me. Not after all the bullshit caused by this user over the last 2+ weeks.

... censorship is a serious issue).

There is no censorship in this forum and we, the users, have no power to censor any debate. The only one who could establish censorship would be theymos, and his political ideology is the opposite.

Not in the slightest bit true. Anyone with the power to lock a thread, can censor further discussion. Anyone self-moderated topic creators, can censor past discussion.
