    I just closed the "Thread Closings" thread in the HD. Seemed to be over with. We can always re-open should it be necessary.

    Doesn't closing a thread about closing threads cause a feedback loop, resulting in the thread in question achieving infinite mass within 48 hours?

    Shouldn't someone reverse the polarity or something?

    We'll fix it with an inverse verteron pulse from the main deflector dish. Not to worry.

    No, it just guarantees that within a few hours someone will start a new thread, much better to let it burn itself out rather than try to blow the flames out only to fan them up again.

    It already blew itself out, they were all talking about other things.

    It's been a half-policy to close resolved HD threads for the longest time now :shrug:

    Because my doctor advised me to avoid red meat since my "incident" two years ago. So if I can't have it, NO-ONE CAN!! :mad:

    Good call. I probably would have closed it when I saw it, too.

    I know it wasn't regular policy, but things were so volitile I felt letting it go and letting frustrations burn out would just end everything sooner and with less aggravation than if I warned everyone and shut it too soon.
