Which was exactly what I said in my mod note: > [@1/28/86 - Lest We Forget](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/1-28-86-lest-we-forget/744505/10): > > **RTFirefly** This is a memorial thread for those who died in the Challenger crash. **You’re free to open a thread memorializing those who died in car crashes that day if it’s that sincerely meaningful to you, but keep it out of this thread.** Emphasis added. Your comment in that thread wasn’t even a debate about the premise, but a mention of others who died on that day. You raised no issue or challenged any premise. I tried to take it it at face value that you wanted to remember others who died that day as well, not an opening for debate. Either way, a different thread would have been the proper place. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-i-cant-disagree-with-the-premise-of-a-thread/744513)._
