4th, I'm not upset. I just find it amazing that there isn't one person who understands whe principle that I'm trying to defend.

I realize that the intitial act was not intended to be harmful, but to listen to everyone beligerently defend the act as opposed to defending the principle is confounding to me.

I feel compelled to convince, but by no means, don't take that to mean that I am still pissed.

The bottom line is that this particular mod made a mistake. Nobody's words should be altered. A thread should be deleted before it should be changed to reflect something different than the thread starter intended.

Again, again, again, and again......this particular instance is of minimal signifigance, but it is the principle that is VERY important, IMO.

I don't think anybody else on this board would want the wording of their ideas changed for any reason, regardless of the topic.

It's not that you made a stupid thread. You made a stupid thread that is a near-copy of the other similar stupid threads on the board today. WE HAVE TOO MANY.

The title of this thread "WHO STOLE MY RUBBER PENIS AND WHY?" made

You are correct, the board did get a little out of control today. It was a mess and they tried to clean it up. We needed the room for the piss, poop and fluid swapping threads.

Then why weren't all the stupid threads pertaining to this topic merged instead of just mine and shitsmacks, or whoever started the TY LAW HATES....thread?

Because then it would have been boring. Obviously whatever mod did this was genius enough to know that it'd throw a lizard down your dress and send you into an arm-flailing tissy.

Which it did.

Making the the thread a possible classic instead of condensed spam...

There's really only one thing left for me to do on this thread.

And all of the mods here, myself included, have been consistent on SPAM threads.

Get over it.

you may have missed this

I'm over it. The point now is to debate the intent of the person who changed the wording of a thread title that he didn't start. If it were an innocent merging of threads, not only would ALL of the parody threads (instead of just the two) been merged but whoever did it would not have applied a thread title to a thread that was incongruent with that title.

Who started the thread titled, "TY LAW HATES PARODY THREADS?"

I'd be interested to know. Since it looks like I did, I guess we'll never know unless that person admits it or someone else remembers.

The title's were ABSOLUTELY related. All of it was unnecessary spam.

Then condense them all.....even condense them all under shitsmack's thread title....... but don't condense them all under shitsmack's thread title and attribute them to me as the thread starter.

Understand?

As anyone knows, any of those other half-dozen threads will immediately appear on the first page as soon as somebody responds to them.

Look, I don't take my self TOO seriously. But, I'll confess that there are prinicples that I feel very strongly about. For someone to alter another's words or intentions and then basically hem and haw about it like it was totally innocent when their explanation appears to be full of shit...well, that doesn't cut it either.

Look, I joked with you. Then I politely explained it.

Now, I'm done with that.

I MERGED SIX ****ING THREADS MORON. They were the ones that happened to be on the front page.

Are you a mod? Do you know how long that takes, or what that does to performance on the server while the database catches up?

SHUT THE **** UP.

Seriously.
