I have opened a parallel thread. As I'm sure the haters will report it, I hope to see a rational explanation if something is done with my thread, like trashing it or moving it to off topic, and not with the other one.

People on the push-ups thread jinxing the price.


So, if your thread isn't trashed or moved to Off-topic, you will be cool about the pushups thread?  Roll Eyes

Two wrongs don't make a right. The better question is - if the Don's thread gets moved, would you and everyone else here who defended Og's thread be equally vehement about Don's thread belonging in Speculation? Or is that different because of your obvious bias?

It's quite appalling really to see such a large group of people losing their collective mind just because they posted in a thread and someone called it "stupid". Guess what - you can still post on the off topic board, and you can even discuss bitcoin price on the off topic board! Amazing, right?

For the record, I don't think Og's thread is "the stupidest", there is a lot of competition for that title - for example the flat earth thread (RIP). And even being a stupid thread wouldn't necessarily mean it needs to be trashed... the aforementioned flat earth thread was quite amazing, but it was ON THE OFF TOPIC BOARD.

I know at least one long-time, trusted, respected member getting a temp ban for a thread that was far less off topic than the one being discussed here and wasn't a spamfest, so we have a bit of a goose/gander situation going on, which is not a good look for moderation or for the users going out of their way trying to prove that this somehow makes sense.
