THIS thread should not have been closed. Why did the Mods close this particular thread? No not THAT thread, THIS thread. How can we complain in this thread about the mods decision to close this thread, when they closed this thread? Mods should not close threads before they begin. I demand the right to open a thread asking why the thread demanding my right to open a thread has been closed. Or not. Maybe I should open a thread about it. As long as the Mods explain why this thread was closed. ---

I sense that some kind of official policy concerning “parody” threads may soon be in the offing. If you have a complaint about another thread or poster, make it and use plain language. But this “parody” stuff is getting done to the point of stupidity. Knock it off.
