OK my bad I guess?
Lou. Intermediate NJ USA Member since 8/24/02 Posts: 1214	Like this post Date: 1/30/07 7:14 AM OK so now I've had a discussion made Read Only. I wasn't even a member of PR (I let my membership linger for a few months while having DS2) while the so called horrible discussion on who knows what was going on that made people leave the site. I have no idea what it was about, who was involved and yes I am sad to see some of the original PR members gone, but does that mean that everyone that dares bare an opinion from now on gets made read only and their discussions closed? Edited to say, I only realised it was read only when I tried to post to apologize for putting my foot in it, then I got annoyed I didn't even get a chance to do that. -- Edited on 1/30/07 7:15 AM -- -- Edited on 1/30/07 7:16 AM -- ------ Lou

The previous discussion definitely had a different emphasize (& tone). I stayed out of that one! The thread you had started really had already made it's point, though: a review should be a review and not merely a link. Which the vast majority are. So perhaps that is why it was closed, with concern it might devolve? I don't think that previous discussion had much to do w/ some folks not coming 'round here any more, although I don't know that for certain. As for threads being made read-only, as far as I know the rule of thumb is still general discussions good, insults bad. Which is why I was startled that the other thread was closed, since it seemed fine to me. ------ With a great wardrobe that's still in the flat-fabric stage.

Anne, I agree with your assessment about the previous discussion. You know how to read between the lines. ------ The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale. Richard Dawkins

But with new people joining every day there's bound to be those who weren't around for the previous discussion, so why not let them talk about it?
Pyrose   Intermediate MD USA Member since 2/12/06 Posts: 2022 Board Moderator	Like this post Date: 1/30/07 11:18 AM The reason I locked the thread is because there is a great thread there already where people can give constructive opinions on how others can improve their reviews. I have merged the locked thread into this thread. -- Edited on 1/30/07 11:28 AM -- ------ Jennifer pyroses.blogspot.com ThinkGeek: "E-mail has been around since before computers. At first, e-mails were written on rocks and thrown at neighbors. CC-ing a rock e-mail could be dangerous for an entire village. Then, e-mails were written on paper and put in weird paper things called envelopes and the postal system delivered them. This was slow. Finally, e-mail as we know it came around."
