Spectre - who fucking cares if it’s too silly? It clearly wasn’t too silly for YOU to participate in. It wasn’t too silly for 42 responses to have been submitted in a six hour period. This is the type of bullshit moderating that got twickster a daily thread in ATMB this summer - totally arbitrary thread closings because they didn’t meet some arbitrary level of mundaneness.
Let me ask you this - what sort of horribleness do you think would have occurred if you hadn’t closed the thread? Stayed at the top of IMHO for a few more hours? Maybe it was in the wrong forum - then just fucking move it. The thread was harmless, the posts were all in good fun - and you thought it was enjoyable to take part in yourself. Unlock it, apologize, learn to pause next time you feel the need to swing your dick around, and move on.
