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.

First of all, just to be clear, it's not about depending on a specific person or a thread, I don't know Og personally or ever had a private conversation with him, nor do I know anyone else other than them being forum members like myself, the reason why I'm speaking against OP is because I find him and this thread being completely unreasonable and unnecessary. I have already said this once in this thread, that if he thought that the thread we are discussing here didn't belong to Speculation, he could simply make a report to moderators and leave it to them to decide whether he is right or not. What's the point of starting a thread against a thread that isn't specifically causing any harm to the forum or any individual?

If he thinks that moderators are not good at their job, and if his report goes unhandled or turns out to be a bad one, I don't see any reason for him to call out moderators and the admin to take action by creating this thread because this wouldn't make it any different.

I just believe that whatever we are doing here is unnecessary. OP should have reported the thread, if moderators thought the report was correct, it would get moved, and if they didn't do it, he should have accepted that considering the thread isn't causing anyone any trouble.
