Jamie_B Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 [quote name='Bengals1181' timestamp='1300371209' post='977505'] sure it is. You only have a problem with old deleting it because he's a mod.

oldschooler Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 [quote name='Lucid' timestamp='1300371207' post='977504'] It didn't used to be that way.. Once someone replied only a mod could get rif of it.. Which is how it should be if you ask me.. What is the point in engaging in a discussion if the OP can just delete the thread when they don't like the direction the convo is taking. [/quote] It was always that way. Always. I used it 1000s of times in the past. And and we weren't engaging in anything. After I made a well thought out post this morning, you chose to ignore it and drum up stupid shit.

|Lucid| Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 [quote name='Bengals1181' timestamp='1300371277' post='977507'] I don't really see it as a big deal. Its very rare that a poster deletes his own thread. And usually when they do, its warranted. [/quote] I disagree.. I think once others enter into the convo, it is no longer the OPs right to remove the thread. I think it shows disrespect for the opinions and time of the other posters involved.

Jamie_B Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 [quote name='oldschooler' timestamp='1300371272' post='977506'] Really? I locked the thread as a joke. I saw Scharm replying and knew it would make him get an error message. I immediately unlocked it and let him say what he had to say. It was a one time thing. I threatened to ban Homer because of the way he was talking to me for expressing my opinion. And I wouldn't have banned him, I would have suspended him, which I clearly stated. Go has done that shit quite a bit in the past. So is he out of control too? So where are the all of these issues? I deleted my own fucking thread. 1181 just did it too and he isn't a Mod.

oldschooler Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 [quote name='Lucid' timestamp='1300371505' post='977514'] See that is the issue.. In your mind, once you have written a "well thought out post" it's the end of the matter and any dissenting opinion is "stupid shit".. You do it all the time. [/quote] Because I moved on from the insults and name calling. I said I was for ousting Saddam in 1991. I thought it was a mistake that he wasn't taken out then. And HIS ACTIONS in the 12 years we ALLOWED him to stay in power only cemented my original thoughts. He killed his own people. He made back room deals. He shot at our pilots. He jerked weapons inspectors around and he wanted the World to believe he had WMDs. He also let it be known that he wasn't going to stop. And had every intention of starting shit back up "when the coast was clear." That doesn't mean I supported the way Bush went about it entirely. Or that I agreed with his every move. It means just what I stated. That we were going to have to deal with his sooner or later whether we liked it or not. It's that simple. I also said at the risk of sounding callous, innocent people die in wars. They have in every war ever fought. And I am not minimizing their deaths. But we didn't go there and target innocent people. That's what the other side does. And there has been less innocent deaths by our hands than there were by Saddam's hands. And those innocent deaths are on the decline and will continue to decline. I am not justifying them. I have been shrouded by death my entire life. I know what it is like to lose loved ones numerous times over. I wouldn't wish that on any good person or their family member. And I also said that as far as Munoz signing the bomb. He was there for troop morale. I am sure the soldiers he went there to visit asked him to sign it. That's what "they" do. And he was trying to be one of "them". I don't thin he felt any shame at all by signing it. Because he felt it was going to be dropped on a mountain full of bad guys. Not a house full of innocent women and children. I never once called you or anyone else a name in that post. You didn't dissent any of that. Instead you chose to ignore it and drum up shit from yesterday and call me a punk behind a keyboard that hasn't ever done shit for this Country. I responded accordingly. You responded back like you couldn't believe I responded that way. I responded back again. And then you did again. Telling me I looked like an ass. And other stupid shit. So I deleted the thread because my efforts to get the conversation on track and have some peace to it, just wasn't going to happen. Not because I was pissed or I looked bad or anything like you and others have said. I deleted it because it was worthless from the 4th post on. End of story.
