Thread Closures

I don't want to make any waves here. I'm typically a lurker and don't post that much, but I'm a little disturbed by the closing of the Fired! thread. Is this not a forum for people to post their thoughts and opinions about a topic that is something they feel strongly about? Some people agree with the punishment made, other don't. Why close the thread? It's not like the thread was filled with bad language, pornography or anything deemed socially unacceptable. The only reason given was that 100 posts was enough and there was no point in discussing. Discussing? I thought that just what forums were for. Apparently not.

It IS what they are for....but only the good is allowed outside the box.

The bad has to stay home.

It's really very simple.:flag2:

It seems as though as soon as he mentioned Scott's name as the guilty individual they closed it, maybe that just me. I wonder if GM is kicking in some cash to fund this place?? Who knows, but we sure can't say anything bad about GM, the new Camaro, or Scott.

It was closed because there was nothing constructive left to discuss in that thread. Opinions were posted, arguments were made for both "sides"...and fingers were starting to be pointed (which isn't good). The topic it was drifting into wasn't appropriate for the boards: call it preventative measures. The 100 posts thing was just an aside I made -- it wasn't the reason.

The whole business is an unfortunate and sticky one. I'm sorry for any ruffled feathers. But you'll find that there's 50+ other active threads you can participate in...I think that still qualifies this site as a discussion forum?

How about we let this die down and not give it more attention than it already is getting. Camaro5 is many of our "Happy Place". Lets keep it that way.

Fair enough. But, I don't agree. First, who are you to say that there was nothing constructive left to discuss? I had no idea you had the ability to know what people planned on posting. I guess with the thread closed we'll never know. Man, if every thread on here was based on whether it was constructive there'd be A LOT fewer threads. Second, you're right, there are 50+ threads I coud go post in. I'm certainly glad you've given me the "choice". Unfortunately I really didn't have anything to say in those threads. But again, I'm glad I have a "choice".

If you'd like to discuss this more, I have a PM inbox -- feel free to shoot me a line....But I won't get into it here. Suffice to say, you're reading much deeper into my message than it was ever intended.

Like you said.."choice"

to be or not to be (here) that is the question.
