Well, we had it coming. First Horner, now Thaxton. This thread was mostly funny, but
things have gone ugly, IMO. Take no offense, anyone. But you have brains, so use them.
It seemed there´s no limits, and we (you as i don´t write here often) were pushing the limits
more and more. And now the thread is closed.

Probably it´s not wise to open vol 2, as the atmosphere has generally changed here. People
tend to push limits more and more, and i think, this certainly wasn´t the idea of the thread
in the first place. A good jokes about film music and us, i think that was the idea from the
first place. So if we are going to make vol 2., we really have to think how it would work.

Its a shame i can´t write to this board more. I´m very busy with my work, and with mailing with
my finnish film music enthusiastic colleagues, but this was a subject i really wanted to bring to
the table. So WTF is wrong with us? Can´t we be civilized anymore?

Comments?

Yeah, sorry, i should have been more precise. Offensive Thread Titles You Wouldn´t Dare Post!

Too long for a thread title, IMO, in this case.

Edit. And i have to admit, i always have to put the things on the table..... But how we could
develop this board if we just ignore "ugly" things? big grin

It was fun while it lasted, Jim is going to be so pissed when he returns to find the OTT thread now extinct. My thoughts at this moment are with Jim mostly.

Oh my... well man has to find his limits. He will be fine, with that sense of humor. But too bad
for him, it was "his" thread, without any doubt.

Yeah, he´s probably in hawaii having some pina colada, so no need to worry..... wink

I have to get more drink, i´m seeing things i don´t understand. This is for more
intelligent people than me. big grin

Edit. i wonder when the discussion starts. Too delicate subject?

Here it comes: Fsm Board Members Dare Not to Talk About Closing Of
Offensive Thread Titles You Wouldn´t Dare Post!

Consider this as an official start of vol 2! big grin

I've never posted there, only read the comments. I'm not very witty.

But the real head-scratcher for me is that the final post before the grand closing was a question from solium that I had also wondered about. I'm sure we are just being paranoid...

Yeah, why *was* it closed? I didn't see anything particularly offensive in the recent postings that would warrant locking the thread; certainly not in Solium's last posting. And if there were something offensive in earlier postings, wouldn't a *warning* have sufficed? I must have missed something....

I agree with JENK. Why was it closed? I didn't see anything terribly offensive, but offensiveness is different for different people.

In recent days, there were clearly a couple of very personal and intentionally offensive posts about a particular member who had caused a bit of a dust-up on another thread. I was not at all surprised to find the thread locked after that - went over the line (never supposed to target an individual). And I won't be surprised if this thread gets locked too, if this discussion goes too far.

But I would respectfully suggest that the moderator always adds a last post on a locked thread to explain the lock, just as a matter of information.

I agree with Joan and JENK. This was pretty mild compared with some stuff that goes on too long.

What, the Botibol story?

I think it's pretty clear in the last couple of posts above Solium's final entry. Not gonna get into it here. If we repeat it, there's the motivation for closing this thread.

Sean, that makes sense, and I see where you're coming from. But I've read worse on other threads, including actual --- joking, of course --- death threats that never lead to the threads/topics being locked. My only question is: Why the inconsistency?

Well I feel honored having the last post in the OTT Thread! RIP.
