Unless a hooktard is posting a rebuttal to a post in a section where she is not allowed to post, the theory is that a thread becomes the entwined intellectual fabric of everyone who posts in the thread.....not just the thread starter.

The thread starter does not get to dictate the conversation content with the availability of a thread lock as the final word......thinck before you post....ijs.

I may as well start posting touring ads on here since it's getting national attention and the mods are keeping it open .

Didn't I already say it was hypocritical........2-3 pages ago:http://www.eccie.net/showpost.php?p=...0&postcount=40 or do you want to keep repeating what you said 2-3 pages ago? We all agreed it was a bit hypocritical. Now we should move on to something more positive.It's like some of you just want to be negative. This thread is how many days old? Please....get over it.

Fact of the matter is a request is a request, whether or not it gets locked depends on the circumstances. This thread hasn't become a train wreck nor has it deviated from course furthermore there is no subject for discussion, therefore I don't see a need for it to be get a lock.

oh this is painful

Since the thread was started, then hrs later was edited and the topic deleted, it has now a thread with no core topic..... Since there is no flames, no infractions, and no drama there is no reason to close it..... as so eloquently stated above it is the property of EVERYONE who has posted within this thread, not just the OP.....

The goal is to NO have to shut threads down..... not have locked threads..... it has been done in the past because it was thought that it is an easier way to deal with drama/conflict when in fact it does the opposite in almost all cases..... The "Old guard" may have subscribed to the closing philosophy.... but that doesn't mean it was the right one.....

If it keeps getting bumped to the top - why not?
Please leave it open. Gives me an opportunity to post randoms pictures.

The main subjects of the thread were women. Women that aren't on ECCIE
so what is the fuss about. No one was mentioned. I admitted the thread was hypocritical why keep going on and on about it? What's the goal here... oh wait from the posters in this thread - I know what's up *rollseyes*

That was never the rule...... it was just the practice that some of the old mods participated in...... Threads CAN and WILL get closed...... but so long as they stay relevant, stay on topic, and remain civil there is no need to close them..... when the topic is talked out.... it will drop in the listing just as other threads do......


As far as posting Ads here..... keep in mind that Ad Posting guidelines are still in effect...... and while ThreADs are ok.... blatant ADs are not...... so do so at your own peril........
