> [@SpecialAgentJem](#): > > I’ve seen worse threads that have been left open. If the thread was really as bad for it to be closed the lack of responses would have caused it to die anyway. It appears the mods have been closing crazy recently! Heck, they’re racing to do it so quickly, they’re even doing it at the [same time](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=493867) these days. 😉 ---

Oh crap, now I can’t post my fantasies about sex with fish. I may just let my membership lapse. ---

I still just don’t get how the OP of the closed thread was a more disturbing experience for Rico than the thread that continues to grow beyond all normal expectations of disgustingness. I’m really curious. As I implied, I can be somewhat squeamish myself, but the closed OP gave me nothing but an internal roll-eyes and a “meh.” ---

Yeah, that thread closing makes no sense to me either. I cracked up when I read it. ---

To All & Sundry: Thank you for your feedback; your responses have been instructive and entertaining. To offer what clarification I can: It was not my intention to post a purely pornographic “Dear Penthouse” type post, at least not anymore than can be helped in a thread with “sexual fantasies” in the title. Rather, I was genuinely interested in hearing what others might have to offer on the OP subject: what have you imagined/ wish you could do that was truly impossible. I did not believe I was violating any board rules, or bringing up a subject that’s more TMI than others that have been posted. However, I respect the Mods authority on what crosses the line and what doesn’t… I was rather embarrassed at the thought that I had (once again) stuck my foot in my mouth far enough to lose toes. I am grateful to hear that at least some of the people here don’t think it was inappropriate. Finally, if the thread aborted solely on the case of the example I gave, then if the Mods approved I would like for someone to start a new thread on the subject. Thanks one and all. ---

> [@stpauler](#): > > \ > I have no interest in the thread itself, in fact… I opened the link and shut it without reading much more than half the first post, but I don’t see why it should be censored either. If the board’s population doesn’t want it, it will sink into its watery death. Eggzackly. I’m not with the Mods on this one. ---
