Closure, redux
Pertaining to the thread "
Gay debate", the following actions apply:
• Thread closed for grotesque digression.
• Thread retitled accordingly.
• Topic post and relevant non-digressive posts copied to
new thread.
• No specific disciplinary sanctions issued.
Reminder: Members are advised that in the face of genocidal lunacy, the proper response is
not to simply cuss and threaten. I would go so far as to ask that in such circumstances, people apply at least the basic appearance of subtlety and intelligence. If a member wishes to play the role of village idiot, it is enough to simply laugh at his or her idiocy. There is no proper need to threaten, and as for the usual harsh condemnations that fly around Sciforums, well, we must remember that genocidal lunatics have feelings, too.
Shame on you all for making the hatemonger cry.
Or, more seriously, yes, the usual acceptable condemnations of outright stupidity are acceptable. Just ... you know. Just because someone decides to advocate genocide is no reason to threaten them.
As noted above, no specific disciplinary sanctions are issued. No posts are deleted from the original thread, and none edited. No warnings will be issued publicly or privately to any individual members on this occasion.
