Topic Nazis
Hey admins,
​
While I agree that we want strings to be "topic related" in general, there has to be room for discussion here.
​
Posting a "warning" and closing an active thread in the course of 2 minutes is a little too goose steppy, don't you think?

Re: Topic Nazis
I'll respond on 2 points:
​
1) Yes, we were off topic. I was trying to show a new comer to the boards WHY you can't just make up random quotes.
​
2) My issue is not that there was a problem with us being offtopic, it's that between "Hey you guys are off topic" and "I'm closing this thread" there wasn't even enough time to respond. I know, because I was typing in a response and couldn't post it.
​
Thats draconian.
​
Admin's jobs are not to shut down active threads in which they are not participating because they disagree with the discussion that's happening there.
​
If people are off topic, post "Hey you are off topic, please get back on topic or start a new thread". Don't just storm in and kill everything.
​
How would you like it if I posted this, then killed this thread so you couldn't respond to explain your position?

Re: Topic Nazis
Fighting off-topic blather with off-topic blather?
​
Its called demonstrating. Arch was siting a completely unfounded and made up quote attributed to "a scientist". I was showing him that ANYONE can make up any quote and attribute it to anyone at any time.
​
It's true that I EXPECTED Arch to realize what I was doing A WHOLE LOT sooner than he did. I can't help it if he was slow to catch on.
​
You'll note that when he finally did catch on, my post was explaining the point of the previous series of posts.
​
You'll be able to find that post as it's directly in between your two posts. Luckily I managed to squeeze it in in the 30 seconds you alotted. Very generous

Re: Topic Nazis
Well thanks so much for chiming in Ringo. I'm so glad you were a part of the original conversation as well as this one.
​
It's great to see that there are still people here who don't want to just ride in, snipe and ride out.

Re: @ AdminPD re the 'For the Record' Thread
STOP USING THIS QUOTE MINE! Modulous and I went through this, and I explained that even though the quote said violence, it was MEANT IN THE CONTEXT OF MURDER. Modulous accepted this 'correction' so why the hell can't everyone else? Why do people CONTINUE to use that QUOTE MINE trying to 'prove' that I don't understand the opponents' position?
​
Well, Jon certainly seems very worked up from receiving some of his own medicine.
​
Maybe a lesson will be learned?
