Since there is already a thread on this, let’s close this one.

#1 My OP was BETTER
#2 I approached the topic with a completely different perspective
#3 The SDMB systematically continues to mess with my posts, while allowing others to unfairly attack me.
#4 At the very least, feel free to move my topic to BBQ or Politics, but my post is demonstrably different from what the Snitch, Andy B, pointed out.

I DEMAND my post be re-opened, even if under a different Forum.

Will breath-holding occur if TPTB refuse? :stuck_out_tongue:

3

Your link doesn’t work.

4

Demand?
That’ll work for sure!

5

Click on the top one.

6

I did. I already saw that. The 2nd thang ain’t workin’

If you click on the top link and then click on the link in the post by Colibri it will work. Its the first thread about the issue.

8

Oh, ok. I see. Thanks.

  1. Your OP was the second one on the same subject in the same forum. Closing such and referring people to the original happens all the time…even to those who aren’t on the secret mod hit list.
  2. Different perspectives on the same topic in the same thread? We can’t have that!
  3. This wasn’t an attack, this was a closing of a duplicately themed thread.
  4. I understand-the important thing isn’t to get the idea across, which could have been established by your posting in the thread that already existed. The important thing is that your name must be upfront of it all, even if the mods have to move it to an obviously inappropriate forum.

If by better, you mean more inflammatory and filled with unproven insinuation, then your thread was better. But the topic was already discussed. I wondered why there was a second thread on it and didn’t bother to click on the link when I originally saw the thread title.

If you wanted to discuss the inflammatory topics, then it’s better off in the Pit.

You don’t get to make demands.

Since you are making demands and have no desire to discuss the matter in a reasonable manner, this is closed too.

Moderator Note

Treat others with respect in ATMB. Calling someone a “snitch” for PROPERLY reporting a duplicate thread topic is turning the issue into a personal attack, which is forbidden in this forum. Do not do this again.
