    Yes, does seem like it should stay open, not that it should ever have been made, though. As far as I know, there has never been a limit on stupidity in the RedRoom, but maybe you crossed the threshold. If so, it's a mighty high threshold considering your body of work, so I doubt there is any significant danger to the rest of us.

    Bah. This thread was too silly to be either a troll or even offensive. It doesn't seem much more stupid a thread than any of dozens of others in the red room, so I'm really not sure why it was locked. Seems arbitrary, and certainly not in accordance with the rules as generally interpreted by the moderator who closed the thread.

    Not sure why it was locked. Did it have something to do with the rule we can't troll Ted anymore? I got a warning for trolling Ted once (albeit from Spaceturkey). I wonder just how protected is this guy...

    Seems a bit odd to close it, unless Tamar was just trying to troll darkstickle with it.

    Why, yes...yes it did. [​IMG]

    Plus, I clearly said why I closed it when I did it. I was abusing my power because I felt trollish.

    Why did I feel trollish? Because you insisted you would be keeping the thread at the top of the page always. The fact you were trolling Ted was a non-issue. :shrug:

    Yes you did. You might has well have said "I suggest you play Russian Roulette."

    I'm very disturbed by such a suggestion. I could have died had I gone through with it.
