Locked topics
on: November 10, 2008, 09:47:24 AM
As you may see some topics has been locked.
Many topics in this section of the forum contains a great number of posts (often very short comments) which are actually more suitable for the chat than the forum.
Could we try to keep the forum reserved for more substantial discussions/posts and use the chat for chatting?

Not much going on chat these days, so I guess we end up chatting on the forums. Sorry.

True.  Some of these threads contain content which is posted over a large amount of time, rather than in one shot such one is more likely to do in chat. 

I do not agree with such thread closures, but since nils is boss...
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

At last! You've finally realised this forum is going to ruin with juvinile discussions! Thank you for locking some of those threads that were spiralling out of control.

As you command sir nils.

This is EXACTLY what I was trying to tell you two days ago! You need to keep in with the rules. Nils doesn't want one-liners that contribute nothing to the thread.

Spa is opening now!

And obviously, you are not paying attention.

However Nils, although you have locked some topics, you have not locked those that are similar. For example:

You locked "What If?" by Bob and "Who think it's time for another word...". However, "What If?" by Karli/m1469 is still active and so are other similar threads. Why have you targeted those ones and not the others?

lucylucy, when will you realise that...no one really listens to you. Some people agree, but they just agree so you'll continue...so they can laugh at you.

Your topic was locked because people requested it. Look in the thread, it'll say it there. It was not because of MY comments, but YOURS. It was also locked long before the others.

Oh yes, Nils doesn't take any nonsense and with people starting arguments in a thread the admin created himself...I won't be surprised if it'll be deleted also.

God, you don't half moan. Respect? You still need to learn it. Ever heard of the saying "Respect your elders"?, because you do not.

The admin agreed HIMSELF that it was a good idea to lock your thread! You're simply digging yourself a deeper hole lucy. I personally think you're still here purely for entertainment value.

I do not know Nils personally, nor do I pretend that I do. I respect him because he has to suffer juvinile discussions like this. In fact, our replies to you...is basically giving you enough attention to continue.

And yes, I think people are more likely to listen to me, than you. In fact, why do you seem to have a hobby of targeting me recently? Gone off thal, shorty and many others?

Not constantly. And I have only mentioned repoting lucylucy on a couple of occasions.

Can we get back onto the topic that Nils started? This is basically a repetition of other threads...ones that have been locked.

True, but deleted threads don't actually go away. There are boards on this forum that only the moderators can see and use...deleted threads go there, in case of the need to use them later on.

I just want to get rid those who annoy me...

says it all.

And, I am not worried if I upset someone, because I don't want any "Brownie Points".

I never heard that. I'm sorry to hear about your grandfathers. One of the few things I'll class as being Scottish, Welsh, English and (if you really count them because they have their own army) Northern Ireland is the British Forces.

I forget though, is it a 1 minute or 2 minute silence tomorrow?

You care about that much? I suppose I don't blame you, people died to let us have freedom today. I'd never enter the Army, I'd be too cowardly.

It commemorates everyone who has lost their lives in war, even the one's today in Iraq.

I'd never enter the Army, I'd be too cowardly.

There was not a choice. And you never know what you will do when faced with such a thing as war.

I had, untill a few years ago, a German Uncle who was in the German SS.
He was also a good man, but also had no choice.

It is all very sad.
