A CRANKY OLD MAN IN A TURBO-DIESEL PICK UP SPINNING YOUR DRIFTER/RICER *** INTO OBLIVION!

 

Ricer:

A kitchen utensil used for ricing soft foods by extrusion through small holes.



Drifter:

One that drifts, especially a person who moves aimlessly from place to place or from job to job.

 

That said, I'm not a drifter or a ricer, and I want your truck!!!

 

In response to the actual topic..

I think it's the primary purpose of a moderator to close threads that they find annoying, offensive, pointless.. If you don't like that, don't post. Most of these threads that are closed in GenD seem like they were created with the specific intention of 'getting to someone' and were rightfully eliminated. Threads closed in other forums are closed because the moderator thinks the discussion does not belong in his/her forum. It is the job of the moderator, in this case, to tend to the interests of the forum and it's content.

 

As I said before I think the moderating team does a generally fine job. I just don't think anyone wants to see the moderators turn into a thread-locking gestapo. I agree that some posters are remiss in following rules of basic human decency, and in those cases I would condone a moderator-administered public ***-whupping, but never a locked thread and the blockade it places on the high road of free speech.

 

MY CAPS LOK IS ON TODAY, WHEN I AM AT WORK. ITS KILLING ME JUST TO TYPE ,LET ALONE MAKE THE REACH FOR CAPS. SORRY

 

I'll tell you what, if you think we're a 'thread locking gestapo', then you let us know in a PM. Then we'll know who to ban.



EDIT: I forgot the , which makes my post sound sarcastic instead of agressive.

 

So which one is it supposed to be?

 

****, I don't know.. I'm tired.

 

Dammit, don't change your answer after I reply...lol.
