ISBU (is Spark being unreasonable?)

[Athlai]

Yes.

Actual moderation will keep this from remaining the wretched hive of scum and villainy it has become.

(That’s a Star Wars reference Sledger)

Which is worse, that you referenced star wars or that you felt the need to explain referencing star wars?

I firmly believe in leaving no man behind, and sweet dear Sledger is not a believer in the force.

 

[Spark]

i'm always unreasonable

Well ****

I don't feel your being total unreasonable (not like Stalin, Hitler or Pol Pot) however, closing down a perfectly good AIBU thread which would have stirred some healthy debate (and some brain cells) I feel is borderline crass... And very undignified. I would stress that if it was properly viewed and the topics answered in a ethical and intelligent fashion we would have all benefitted from the knowledge and empowerment it would have inspired to the incumbent hordes.

On planetcricket they found it inspiring... Or was that just me... ?

 

[Athlai]

Probably just you

 

[CasMcG24]

Probably just you

You do know I was meaning they found me inspiring x

Made me chuckle

Fwiw, Spark closing the thread doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't want the discussion to happen, just that it's not a big enough topic for it's own thread. Tbh I'd have thought a thread where people can ask for advice where maybe they're in/have been in an unfamiliar situation and have come out of it feeling that they may have acted wrongly would be fair enough, though whether they'd get serious answers is debatable.

 

[Burgey]

Why did you omit any reference to Hitler being unreasonable?

I think that's Gnske's job to decide that.

i literally see no reason why the "what are you thinking" and "what are you doing" or even the "what grinds your gears" threads wouldn't suffice

Grinds my gears the only one worth keeping imho

 

[trundler]

Don't we have an advice thread too?

 

[the big bambino]

I'd tell you but not here.

 

[CasMcG24]

Why did you omit any reference to Hitler being unreasonable?

Because he was disabled and I can't take the piss out of a man with only one ball... ?

But were does the list end... If you're routing for him I'll add him x

 

[CasMcG24]

Block em all

Here's a tissue....

Thanks ellipsis x
