I was having a mature and on-topic discussion with Brent, and this got closed because someone else ruined it.
Yes I could have continued the thing through PM, but then we wouldn't get others input on it now would we.
If I had started a new thread, I would have gotten it closed due to the trolling rule that was taken in effect upon the unofficial HOTM poll threads.
To me it seems like really bad judgement to just close threads like that. Why not delete the off-topic posts? Why ruin a whole discussion?
Yes I know the thread was threatened with the lock-stick yet it went on, but my point is that locking threads NOT completely filled with spam should rather see the deletion of spam posts than locking the entire topic.
Revan, I apologize if you feel that I derailed the thread. I didnt mean to shut you up or interrupt your debate. Honestly, I would love to engage the subject more however every thread regarding that subject gets trolled by Brent. I dont mind someone giving his opinion, but he repeats himself over and over. He is also very closed minded. I agree with your thoughts in that thread. I honestly feel that you could of posted a book of your thoughts there and no matter how logical they are or not, Brent would not agree. Some people are just too argumentative to even try to have a decent conversation with.
