Locking a Super Kapowzler thread? Really?

@Cicero

He comes across as smug. The Lone Cashews post is one of the weirdest of the year.

We don’t like a post so we are snobs?

It’s about the thread closure, not disliking the post. I don’t happen to prefer the style either, (see post #21). The point is that it doesn’t matter whether I like it or you like it. The point is that some people do like it.

Just because you or I don’t like or prefer a particular posting style doesn’t merit locking a harmless thread that others are having fun/entertainment with.

You seem to be of the opinion that, if you are entertained by a thread and/or post, it doesn’t really matter if the poster follows the rules of this message board. I am of a different opinion.
Edited to add: In fact, my job description requires me to be of a different opinion.

That was unnecessarily acerbic, Tzar.

I agree that this whole issue is a tempest in a teapot. Super K wasn’t banned, suspended, or even given a warning, so who gives a fuck? But the “my job description requires me” bullshit is why you should have never picked up the mod hat again.

Your posts as a mod are never polite.

I thought the thread was funny and would have moved it to MPSIMS. I think it would have been a fun thread. I don’t see why so many people here get so outraged over nothing.

This is exactly how I feel, too, but I understand if the mods have to close it for not having a point. I think the thread, moved to MPSIMS, would have grown into a lot of people posting about things that they ponder about but not worthy of a thread on its own. It actually had more of a point than some of his other, more memorable, threads.

??? He said he *didn’t *care for the posting style, but that personally liking or disliking a posting style alone was not good enough reason to shut down a thread. He was responding to posters who were complaining about not liking the posting style.

[Cicero]

If the style is putting half a dozen different topics in one post, I would say it is enough reason to close a thread.

Nonsense. It is his job to enforce the board rules. Now you may wish to argue that the thread in question wasn’t actually violating a board rule, or that the interpretation of the rule was questionable, or whatever, but trying to argue that Czarcasm isn’t supposed to enforce the rules? Argument fail.

Try some reading comprehension. It’s the tone I don’t like.
