I love it when threads disappear....
 

Thank you!

....and yet we all know where to go find them...if we so desire ;).

So why is this post still here?;)

The thread was in this forum before PARF existed. Someone replied to it, which brought it to the first page. The person who replied is not a moderator and did not have the ability to move it.

I don't see why anyone got so bent out of shape about it. Just ask the mods to move the thread.

It's much easier just to be offended.

I'm offended

Legion: yes, I know, that's why I put my response in green...

Yep keep the barf in parf....

I'm not offended....I just don't understand some folks ;). If you wanna PARF....PARF away in the cesspool that was designed for ya....that is all....or get moved there...makes no difference to me. And no...I didn't ask for it to be PARFed....didn't need to :).

Wow, lighten up everyone.

As legion pointed out, that thread was pre-PARF and brought back from the dead by Fint. It's impossible to know what is still floating around in OT, but I moved it as soon as I could..

Hey....I'm good ;). If I wanna get all twisted...I do know where to go. Haven't seen the thread in question since early this morning though....why fint revived an ancient political thread here in OT after 15 years is...well, it just is...

No complaints here...you're doing just fine ;).

And you'll never be lost again because there is always someone there that wants to tell you "where to go". ;)

I've heard the new owners are renaming PARF:

P olitics
E xaggerations
R ants
P issing Contests
S lander

:D

Now Get off my PPOT forum!

Alternatively, you could use your brain just a little, realize that a thread with that title is not something you wish to view, and not click on it. Pretty simple, if you tire of panties twisted in a knot all the time.

Or the person who resurrected it could have asked a mod to move it to it's proper venue BEFORE they brought it back to life but I guess that would have been too easy.

Claiming they did not have the power to move it was a pretty lame excuse.

Or....

^^^^ or one might open an ancient thread to see what kind of nonsense fint dredged back up....and then wait :).

Who the hell is so useless that they have time to go back and dredge up a 14 year old argument? Oh ....

It is called a reality check to compare if someone's arguments today are consistent with their past.

Frequently there are folks that form their ideas based off not the ideas themselves but rather by being against a particular group.

The exposure of the past is a chance to recognize that and re-calibrate to a more rational position.

I respond to posts in lots of old threads. Particularly in the tech section...As many currently posted on there now are actually incorrect. I see no problem responding to any thread without carbon dating it. If it was prePARF, enough folks will cry a river until it is moved. Funny that the behavior of the folks here who complain about PARF/PARFers is as bad or worse than in PARF. Most are just folks who have attempted to debate in PARF and found their arguments weak/lacking...So they are "winning" by whining. The moderator did exactly as he should and the system worked as it should and has many times before (despite the fact that some acted like whiney, potty-mouthed children). It briefly sat on the front page in OT until a mod noticed and moved it. It was in already in OT (for 14 years) before I responded to it. I did not move it or put it there. My response just moved it to the front page. Anyone (except those looking for an excuse to be offended) could have simply avoided opening or posting on the thread knowing it would be moved in an hour or two.

You're so special fint...you want to debate politics here in OT...always have, always will....it is what you do....nuthin' wrong with that. MOST folks here don't (and the powers that be seem to concur fwiw)....it's just that simple, but you simply can't restrain yourself. WTF was your motivation for reviving an ancient political thread (with most posters banned or long AWOL)...was it to prove something to the rest of us....that we already know?

It worked...;)
