Should we revive the Flame wars?

[TheProwler]

Haha, if that was the criteria, there wouldn't be too many threads left!

[Night Strike]

C.C. is silencing those that disagree with their new political correctness program.

Nope, just those who continue to flame on the forums, which is against the rules. It doesn't really matter whether you agree with flame wars being removed or not.......you just can't flame.

Georgerx7di's getting redundant. Where's the locksmith at. Nightstrike, get in here. Lock this bitch for being boring.

I couldn't agree more! Night Strike, over to you!

EDIT: LMFAO! George deleted his post!

Night Strike you should lock this thread and any future threads of a similar vein should be immeadiatly locked.

CC's decision is final and I wish people would just accept it.

[KLOBBER]

I totally agree with the above few posters who want this thread locked.

It's time to move on.

So are you saying it should be locked because:
a) it's boring
b) There are other threads about it
c) you disagree with the premise
d) other

a) by whose criteria? As prowler pointed out, there wouldn't be many threads left open.
b) this is the only active thread on it I'm aware of
c) do I even need to refute that?
d) well?

Why should all future threads on this topic be immeadiatly locked? Are you so scared of discussion about the topic? Is FW a dirty word to you?

Which topics do you find interesting in GD? General congratulations? You know you've been playing too much cc when...?

Rather like FW, if you don't like the topic, don't read the thread.

Does anyone have anything new to add to this discussion?

It seems to me that this horse ain't getting any deader.

This is either brilliantly ironic or stupid.

[salr15]

Yes Timminz I actually do, just wondering...

There are so many threads on this forum, all over the place...why are you constantly on this one? If it annoys you so much, why do you find it necessary to log in and read it just to follow with "please lock this". Why not just ignore it and as klobber said "move on".

I don't see why this thread needs to be locked, I see a few people discussing their opinion. The only people trolling it appear to be you and klobber and JoshBoy.

Very true. There are a handful of people stating their opinions on the subject. The same opinions, over and over again. Myself included. However, you are incorrect on a couple points. 1) You have confused the words "annoy", and "amuse". Honestly, I think you're making fools of yourselves by attempting to continue this lost cause, and I find that amusing. 2) I don't think this thread needs to be locked. I'm surprised it hasn't been. There is a small, yet significant difference there.

Carry on.

Beautiful, because I am just as amused, it actually probably the only amusing thing left on these forums. I am pretty sure people have moved on, they may be just continuing to write here to watch JoshBoy and Klobber make a fool of themselves. People have started FW in other sites that appear to be doing pretty well. Life is good amigo, just sit back and enjoy it. Peace & Love.

[GENERAL STONEHAM]

Lock this thread, this thread should end, this thread is boring, FLAME WARS is a dead horse, blah, blah and more blah.

We not only have the usual suspects, but moderators trying to stifle what little free speech and free expression we have left.

The trolls are out and trying to belittle us.

Well done C.C.

No. Trolling is saying lock this thread lock this thread lock this thread lock this thread.
I am putting forward some ideas and thoughts. Could you explain why this thread should be locked please?

[JoshyBoy]

No. That's spamming. The reason it should be locked is because that CC's decision is final and there is NO POINT in this topic. I honestly don't know why people keep on going on about it.

The only thing that could possibly work is if you got a petition with a LOT of players' names on it. Like hundreds and hundreds of names.

Got to go now i'll respond to your posts in about three hours.

[xelabale]

Why? Once a decision is taken we shouldn't question it? Once we went into Iraq we shouldn't question that decision? Really?

[mpjh]

Does anyone have anything new to add to this discussion?

It seems to me that this horse ain't getting any deader.

The proper reference is to a "debt" horse. English sailors (mostly shanghaied) served the first month as sea paying the monarchy for the privilege, after that they earned their pay. So, they had a ceremony at the end of the first month an beat a horse (canvas stuffed with straw) to signify that they were out of debt.

[xelabale]

Using google as a concordancer to show relative frequency of the phrases we find:

dead horse - approx 2,040,000 examples
debt horse - approx 3,890 examples

Thus you may be right about the origin of the phrase, but the language moved on without you feller. It has a habit of doing that. Pwned!!

[mpjh]

If you don't know where you are coming from, you will never be able to figure out where you are going.

[xelabale]

Of course where you're going isn't wrong, and doesn't need correcting to where you came from.

I'm probably not going to get conscripted by the British navy, but I might need to communicate using a commonly used phrase on the internet.

[Timminz]

If you don't know where you are coming from, you will never be able to figure out where you are going.

But if you only look at the past, you'll never see the future, and you'll likely trip over the present.

Why? Once a decision is taken we shouldn't question it? Once we went into Iraq we shouldn't question that decision? Really?

this is comparable to us going into iraq?

Oh, you haven't heard? The internet is serious business.

Coordination has very little to do with not watching where you're going.
