Why was my thread Closed W/O comment?

[Varient]

I feel I did a great job posing the question and opening the debate w/o heat.

I read some serious sexist and racist stuff on here DAILY,.... in comparision my REQUEST for a point of view different from my own was TAME.

So,.... What Gives?

 

[Varient]

Nothing new here,..
Similar reaction when we had an informative convo last year until the name calling racists started in.

Instead of banning the potty mouths you closed then deleted the thread.

Is the best answer then to be offended by only a few things to the point that they will not be brought up in any fashion yet ignore the really offensive stuff because "it's all in fun" or "I don't mean it when I call you (blank), or say (blank) about you?"

Tsk - I always expect too much from this place.

What's the trouble, bubble?

What's the trouble, bubble?

I had a question and asked for input and stated that I wanted a civil convo.

And a moderator locked the thread and let it sink off the page,.. then deleted it.

Because it would have just led to trouble, Var. Sure, the mod could have waited ten more minutes for someone to actually say something stupid, but it was coming whether you asked people to be polite or not. YOU did nothing wrong, it was just preventative.

The topic has been hot-button in the past, and never proceeds politely

I can accept that. Now I just wish The Mod could have bothered to drop me a line saying so.

Thank you.

Thats true of a lot of other discussions that go on here....but those threads aren't closed from the get-go.

I didn't take offense,... and I took you seriously because we do have haters here who would like to gut you and drain you like a stuck pig because you don't agree with them.

.
I accept that.

Thanks for the chuckle though.

Eli is sadly right, topics like the one you started are always gonna end badly, your topic itself was fine, i read it when i was asked where it had gone and thought it would make for an interesting debate IF we didn't have so many touchy souls here.........Abby does make a good point though, i mean that Christian beliefs thread is a warzone and it has remained open.

 

[strikezone89]

yah i say close the christain forum cause it was a warzone

You have to wonder how offensive it can get before they shut it down.

 

[The Evolutionist]

Just out of sheer curiosity, what was the topic?

 

[Kelly]

The topic you chose is an extremely hot topic that brings on flaming when it is brought up......the mod was simply being preactive with a topic that, as he stated in the thread, "would not end well."

I agree alot of namecalling goes on, and is ignored. If you feel that it is out of control, or you have a problem with it, simply report the post. We cannot be everywhere all the time.

But using that as an excuse for keeping your thread open is weak. The mod was simply taking action early, because history has told us, this topic and a few others NEVER end well.
