Thread demise

a natural atrophy

X says:

Jafo - can I ask a question? What happened to that thread?

Jafo says:

What thread?

X says:

you know - the "porn" discussion

Jafo says:

oh...hang on....just saw it

X says:

I've been looking all morning - I can't see it  It's not on Joeuser either

Jafo says:

Citizen XYZ overstepped the mark...language-wise

X says:

crap - thread got canned?  He get exiled?

Jafo says:

he's not 'exiled'...he's a JoeUser member....depending on future conduct depends how we deal

X says:

can the thread be rescued?

Jafo says:

probably not....essentially it ran its course...  discussions are fine...but eventually people stop attacking the alternate opinions and attack the opinion holders instead

X says:

yeah I've noticed that

Jafo says:

yes...if you cannot convince people you are right....you yell that they are wrong...when they don't agree you say they are stupid...and it goes downhill from there

X says:

yes I'm guilty of that I know

Jafo says:

everyone is guilty of it at one time or another...depends how weak his argument...and how strong his opinion....;)

Uh oh, I had left an unnecessary remark just before I headed to work. I never got to see anything that was said after that. Hope Im not Citizen XYZ or instigated anything.

LoL..NT,XYZ is who you left the comment to, I was the one arguing with XYZ, so I am to blame probably as much as he is. You have nothing to worry about NT..I saw your comment, I thought it was acceptible.(well..probably not..but it fit so well..LOL)

Anyway..
Thats what happened in a nutshell,
Zero.

It was me who hid the thread.

I can enjoy a good debate on any subject, but regrettably the thread lost direction. Unfortunately some people do not appreciate that fine linguistic art...

Thanx Fuzzy, I personally was having a problem appreciating "XYZ's" fine linguistic art there towards the end..

Guess I am weak..
::laughs:: Ah well,
Zero.
