Family Love?
 

Was the "Family Love" thread deleted? If so, why?

I think so. It was too much drama. :D

It's Outta Here!
 

Well, I asked the moderator to lock it down, but I see he took one extra step and just deleted it entirely.

What started as a MATURE discusssion ended up becoming people going back and forth at each other, being downright disrespectful towards each other, and we completely lost focus of what we were talking about.

I'd personally like to keep discussing it, but on a mature level, of course...I asked for it to be locked down because it was getting out of control...but maybe in the future we can discuss that as adults. At least some of us were trying to the whole way through.

then maybe. . .
 

1) Is it possible for the moderator to come up with a set of rules for the board, particularly about respect?

2) Can particular posts be deleted, or does the entire thread have to be?

3) What do you mean by "locking" a thread? Do you mean closing it so that it is "read-only?"

4) I really hope we can continue in that dialogue in the future.

Re: then maybe. . .
 

3)Yes when someone locks a thread it is "read only".

4) As long as it doesn't get "ghetto". :D

An Explanation
 

I wanted to just lock the thread, however my computer just kept thinking about doing that for 20 minutes, so, I became impatient and just deleted the whole thing. Sorry about that. However, it doesn't take away from the fact that many feelings were getting too revved up and many newbies were concerned about the flare-up. Also, I recieved numerous PM requests to shut it down, so, I did. As a Moderator I'm obligated to listen to the requests of those who post here. Healthy debate is good, but it must be respectful and constructive. We can disagree without being disagreeable. Happy posting!

Well?
 

Can we give this another shot then? I thought it was a good dialouge, even if it was between like, 5 people :D

Brother Moderator, I won't start until I get a green light from ya...
It was good convo, I'd like to pick it back up.

OK
 

You have the go ahead! :)

Re: then maybe. . .
 

Well...got more thoughts that you haven't shared yet, sir? :D
I'm still thinking on mine...

Yeah, I asked the moderator to delete the thread myself. When I noticed that over 1000 users had viewed the thread, I knew right then and there it had to go. Plus, outsiders we're pm-ing me about it. It didn't look good.

I have a million and ten things I could discuss regarding APO and GSS. What would you guys like to talk about?

I'm still pondering my thoughts, too.

I actually had a few paragraphs typed out. . .but y'all ain't ready, lol.

:)

Well, bruh...just start with 1 :p :D then I can try to pick it up. Ask a question.

Buffalo Soldier, don't tease with that comment, man! I wanna see the paragraphs, man!

Gamma Girl. . . .naw. . .remember the onion I was talking about? Like I said, many layers and a smelly center. . . :)

superpledge. . .you might not be looking for my opinion on anything in particular, but if you are, you can always PM me.
