I think the thread on [Worst Things You’ve Done](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=13558667#) should be reopened. Czarcasm states that > [@](#): > > It seems to me that this isn’t really about what others have done, but more a discussion about what _you_ have done and how you feel about it. I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now. I disagree with this opinion, and thought the thread was going just fine. Even if **Qin Shi Huangdi** had his own situation in mind, it hardly derailed the thread, and three posts came after his questioning. Why would you close it because it took a slight detour? ---

Meh. If you want there to be a thread that’s what **Qin Shi Huangdi** led you to believe that was going to be, there’s nothing stopping you from making your own. For that matter, if he wants to have a thread where he deals with his own guilty-angsty feelings, he can probably have one, as long as he’s straightforward about it. ---

Yeah, it sounds more like a thread about how **Qin** feels guilty for locking himself in the bathroom to jerk off when he should be studying. ---

It went on for about 70 posts with Q only asking near the end if he was being a tool, and he was answered and the thread went back to where it was. Who cares if that was his ulterior motive or not? It was a short aside and then went back on track. If hearing about others’ worst things helped put his in perspective to him, so what? ---

Feel free to restart the thread, if you wish.
