I never saw it locked.

+ a side thread w/ all the GHers + ringer  [sm_shock]

I see that. :D

 ;)

Torpedo Part III is that thread got deleted. :D

Side thread is no more.

It's deceased.

Ex kin parrot.

Persimmon, you see that?  Tie it in with the moderation thread.

OK for those of us who don't speak in symbols and signs which thread???

It's history.

The whole thing is cyber dust.

Deleted.

No link available.

I figure out that it was deleted just curious what the topic was as I couldn't cypher the description -- got to remember I'm from Mississippi and we are a little slow there.

The topic was 'why was the thread locked?'

Which was then unlocked.

I just went and looked, and you have already posted in the torpedoed thread, that was the one.

So that's where it came from.

spaceage said Torpedo was an annoying lil bugger, or summat.  Most people agreed that he was annoying.  Prof said torp was a kid and inane and that prof was cool as chit and a prof.

Someone said Christmas spirit.

Then I said Humbug, bitches.

That's the last i saw.

It got moderated the FGI out of there.

Kin flip flopping farkers.

A thread got locked after it was Torpedo'ed.  Ringer then started a thread asking why it got locked.  (Not that he was even involved in the original thread or the lock, but isn't it fun to stir the pot?)  Then a person or two made some not so nice comments about the post-worthiness of one or more other persons.

Spaceage was kidding, if he even said that.  Prof did throw some crap, but he recanted and made a quasi-apology.  (Prof didn't say anything about prof.  FWIW, prof has/is going through some very serious personal *feces* the past few weeks, so I'm more than willing to cut him some slack on the judgmental front.)

I don't think spacey was kidding, he was saying he found the torpedoing annoying.

In a day or two he will wake up and tell us, probably.

I stand by what I posted above, read between the lines for (added) effect.

prof quoted a post and added bolded parts to it.  He's the first to admit he sucks pole at the net.   He bolded bits about torp being a kid and added a bit where he was a prof with a (yeah) in bold.

After that I humbugged biatches and that was it for me.

If he withdrew it must have been just before the whole thing was deleted.

Thanks - I knew I had posted the torpedo'd thread and guess I missed Ringers.  I think we had a thread like that right after the FGIM showed.  Thought the resolution was that Torp could locate them from time to time just don't flood the clubhouse with them but turned out others torpedo'd several threads -- I guess to test the FGIM.  For one, I don't mind them being torped from time-to-time.

Appreciate the insight.

It was close to:

Give the kid (true) a break, will ya, prof? (yeah)  I'm fairly good at deciphering the terse posts, and especially his posts.  He was agreeing that his first comment was a little over the line, IMFO.

Personally, I find dead-thread-resurrections annoying.  There are enough current threads flying off Page 1 (or Page 2) without bringing up old ones that aren't immediately relevant (the preseason NFL picks thread is an example of a good, timely resurrection).  But my personal opinion and my professional opinion are separate matters.

Don't get me wrong, I find it annoying too.

Going around being rude, obnoxious and in print about it should be reserved only for those button issues when in cups.   ;)

Unless you are rickP.

I agree with your facsimile of it, which matches my own description.

If that's all there was, I don't see any apology.

prof is a member here, maybe he will fill us in too.

I meant "quasi-apology" in its "Yeah, you're right, that was intemperate" sort of way.

wow, another thread deleted. what do you know. ;) [sm_devil] ;D

wow!! i didn't know you were a pro moderator. [sm_bow] :punchballs:

Take the money where you can get it.

but can these two opinions coexist without undue influence? ;D

i always thought he was a pro. but i thought it involved rest areas. ;)

 :o

Yep. And I've never flooded the clubhouse with them except for when I very first joined ...

It was "Cut the kid (true) some slack, will ya, prof? (yeah)"

That sounds closer to verbatim than what I wrote.  But the important question: do you interpret it the same way?

No, cut = get rid of. ;) Doesn't matter ... :)

Well, FWIW, I think you're wrong.  I've met professor.  He has a gruff FGI persona, but he's no LickD_ in real-life.

Yeah, I know how he posts, and it doesn't bother me even if that is what he meant ... I don't take anything personal on forums ... :)

For the record: I did say I find "torpedoing" annoying, and I do. But I also said I find it really no more annoying than posting ancient jokes, dubious hotties, or half the other stuff people post, and that it's plenty easy to close the thread (or not click on it in the first place) and move on to something else without complaining about it.

Eggggselent....
