I think Avarie’s referring to her recent thread where she talks about how another couple were over visiting her and her husband and then everyone got kind of drunk and then… Well, no sense getting this thread locked as well. ---

I’m confused: given that **Cajun Man** got in there and locked it even before any replies were posted, and given that the thread was deemed against the rules, why wasn’t it completely removed instead of just locked? Off to ATMB… ---

No, no, it’s a good idea. It’s better to leave the thread there - closed - and let everyone know why it’s not permitted to be open, rather than deleting it. If we never see it, we’ll just do it again. Okay, maybe another thread like that will pop up anyway, but at least the moderators can point to this one as an example of what’s not allowed. Or something like that. ---
