It was backroomed, and the complaints still were piling in, until Jim got sick of it and pulled it.

You'll have to convince him, not me, on it if you want that one back. Thanks, LM

I've got no dog in this fight, as I didn't post a single comment to the thread in question. That said, I had bookmarked for later reading and now cannot read what was shaping up to be an interesting read.

Whether or not the pulled thread in question is ever available again, I do think that it's unwise to punish all for the actions of the few. What would be wrong with simply locking the thread to not receive further replies once it has gotten to a certain level of abusive posts?

That would effectively end the flame war and leave everyone's comments, stupid or otherwise, open for all to see. What do you gain by pulling that you couldn't get by locking? Pull posts ought to be saved for disruptors, trolls, and duplicates, not flame wars where one side effectively "gets their way".

One more "complaint", while you're still taking them. ;-)

The wholesale moving of "Passion" threads to chat is not right. I'm not talking about vanity posts or non-sourced posts, but actual articles, written by "media", included in mainstream publications should not be moved to chat.

They don't belong in Chat. They may not be being posted in the forum they should be posted in, but they don't belong in chat. If you have to move them, what is wrong with moving them to the Religion forum instead of chat?

There for a little while, at least one of the Mods agreed that this was a legitimate request and moved the "Passion" related threads to the Religion forum instead of the Chat forum. Now, they are being wholesale moved to "Chat" again.

Please, please, please don't move legitimate sources "Passion" threads to chat. If you must move it, and I'm sure that there are some that need to be moved, please place it in the appropriate forum, which for the "Passion" related threads I would think would be Religion.

Thanks.
