Oh God Almighty...

[SJS]

Please help me to keep this thread from being closed. I just want a thread where I can cme and say something I think is worthwhile, which I think makes sense (to me it does and to others I hope). I promise I will never call anyone a troll, I will never accuse anyone of having an alias and I will give take care of the sensitivities of all moderators.

Please God, if some other people want to come to my thread and fight please make them go away before a moderator comes.

If a moderator does happen to come in the midst of an argument (not of my making) please make him tolerant enough to just talk the fighting men down. Please, please do not make him so upset that he closes the thread.

Everytime I want to post something on a thread that I feel is pertinent, I find it closed. It reminds me of my Aunt from Srinagar who would shut the kitchen door on me because she was upset with my cousin for breaking the plates.

Why do people come here to fight?

Okay maybe people will fight but.....Why do people not stop them from fighting?

Okay maybe they just wont listen but.....Why do people, if not able to stop them from fighting, not ask them to leave?

But why....oh why..., not able to stop them from breaking plates, aunts always shut the kitchen door and prevent those like me from using the refrigerator?

One simple answer.

Its a sports forum. Sports are about competition, and competition breeds arguments. Some people are just too childish to argue like adults.

So tempting.

A friend once told me fighting over the internet is like the special Olympics, both the winner and the loser is ******** anyway.

That does not answer my question which was about aunts closing kitchen doors

Well neither the literal or metaphorical interpretations of the question are about cricket, so Cricket Chat probably wasn't the greatest choice.

I promised I am not going to start a fight so I refuse to discuss this

Will I be banned if I called you a drunken old man?

 

[NasserFan207]

If SJS posts the way he does while drunk, he can only be a genius.

I have absolutely no problem if you call me that if you can assure me that instead of you being banned someone will not chose to close this thread instead

Put in a word for me to become a mod and that assurance which you asked for is yours.

Are you saying that if I did put in a word on your behalf you would make sure I was called a drunken old man ??

 

[SJS]

PS; And Oh God if you are just not able to do anything else at least make me a Global Moderator so that I can post in this thread even after it has been closed.... surely that's not an unreasonable request God ji...is it ???

Haha, silenstriker's post was pretty long and detailed; I dare say he started typing it before the thread was closed and hence didn't realise until after he'd posted it, if at all.

PPS Ok God ji, you dont even have to make me a Global Moderator. Just make sure any posts I start writing can go through closed doors...please.

It was a flipping excellent post. I'm glad he wrote it. People should read it.

Oh God Almighty, please tell people that my posts, unwritten or banging their heads against closed doors were mighty "flipping excellent" posts too.

Could just read Matthew Syed's Times article you linked to and save themselves the trouble, tbf.

 

[Uppercut]

Haha, I know. Just think- if SS wasn't a mod that post never would have seen the light of day and the thread would forever have been remembered as yet another trainwreck.
