OK guys, as y'all know, this is not one of those message boards that you have to tiptoe around for fear of being banned or having threads close. In order to get banned one would have to REALLY go over the edge, like that Mustang did a few months back. I'm talking being REALLY obnoxious, insulting, explicit, racist, or making fun of my car here. Simple name calling or arguing ain't gonna do it.

If you don't like a person on the board, your choices are plenty (and this goes for both the antagonist(s) and the protagonist(s) in each case:

#1) If you see a thread started by somebody that you don't want to hear from, don't open it. If you chose to open it, you can hardly expect sympathy for your having to view it. Much like if you find a TV show offensive - if you don't like it, change the channel.
#2) Add the person to your ignore list - this way they aren't banned, but as far as you're concerned they don't exist
#3, and this goes for the antagonists: Don't start stupid threads that have already been done a million times (including several times by yourself). We have a search functionn here, and questions you can't find the answer to here can be answered a million times over elsewhere on the internet. We certainly don't mind questions here (wouldn't be much of a messageboard without 'em) but the same questions being asked repeatedly by the same people and questions that are just beyond common sense tend to rile up the populace. Don't expect us to do your homework for you.

Thread locking is another issue that neither Eric nor I takes lightly. I cannot stand censorship, and every time I lock a thread it is with a heavy heart and many a doubt in my mind. It's a decision I don't take lightly, which is why these threads get as far out of hand as they do. Sometimes, however, a thread becomes so side-tracked and becomes a simple shiznit-flinging fight that it's better off locked. The one I locked earlier tonight is one of those threads, as is this one. No further good will come from it, so it's time for a smackdown
