A locked thread.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I started a "different" trade Hall thread on the rumor forum, for a very different reason than others were, and it was locked by the self prescribed "thread nazi."

 

With all due respect, I don't *really* have a problem with a thread being locked, but can we just say "duplicate thread, this one's locked"?

 

I offered up a different reason for why I thought Hall should be traded, and I thought it deserved it's own thread. Apparently not, but the "in your face" way the moderator chose to go about it wasn't exactly what I'd call professional for a site that markets and carries itself as such 99% of the time.

 

Thanks.

Sorry if I offended you RoCo, I wasn't trying to be that in your face or anything. Brian's used the soup nazi pic multiple times, so I really didn't think anything of it. I've edited my response. In terms of the thread subject, it just seemed like Hall threads were popping up all over, when the discussion could really be contained within a thread or 2, and I was trying to keep things consolidated.

I wasn't so much offended so much, as just put back by the "nazi" comment. No, I'm not all touchy feely about people's feelings being hurt, but I know the site has gone through a lot of nonsense the last several months with a lot of new posters, and a re-establishment of some ground rules.

 

I had hoped that people would draw the line from Hall to Ginter (deserving player consistently pushed to the bench) in that thread, which I guess I should have been more explicit about.

 

Although, bringing up the G word would no doubt spark another controversial debate at any rate, so it's probably for the best.

 

 

Lastly, I get the feeling that the "nazi" stuff is reserved for people who are or have been redundant, or who repeatedly complain about the way things work at Brewerfan. I've been here, oh, let's say 3 years or so (not sure) and I'm not a thread starter that often, and I try as much as anyone to disagree or agree with other posters with civility.

 

I'm not in any way saying I'm deserving of "special treatment" (yes I am) but it just seemed rather abrupt.

 

Thanks.
