This moderator does NOT know what the hell you are talking about. I, as a moderator, have not used my "powers" to lock up any threads. But perhaps ptabs or brigiedarling has. But no notice of irregularities on this forum have been sent to my mail box.

tweeky,
ewmd did not say that posters locked the thread. His words meant that they inspired a moderator to lock the thread

Normally, if a complaint is issued, it is sent to all moderators. I have received no complaints. So I'm curious as to what happened.

Time and time again you post such stupid and pointless crap that few people even have a clue. What thread are you talking about? when some one points out your issues you just delete or edit your posting to hide. We all get tired of it. You are a troll here, and all the other forums that you post to. Perhaps the whole, "Cast of characters", think that you have the tact and mental resources of a fruit fly, but for God sakes can't you at least try to show them, (us) that you are serious about anything relating to this forum? The, "Cast of Characters" have all been posting here for a long time about their real life experiences, trying to share and help others. You seem to, "get off", on your own stupidy... Why?

Scott,
I'm no fan of ewmd, but I guessed which thread he was talking about on my first try. And after skimming a few posts on the last 2 pages I agree that a few posters had gone overboard and the thread deserved to be closed.

The thread was offensive to some folks and I can see why. I agree that it had run it's course. However, I'm curious who locked it. Rete usually makes a point to tell us why she is locking a thread (or at least gives it a send-off), one of the many reasons that I respect her.

I locked it, because I had received various complaints that the thread had changed course from the original post.

Krissy,
You did not offend anybody. In fact you provided food for thought (not to mention entertaintment) to the NG. It's just one of those topics that took on a life of it's own.
