Where'd the thread go?

[Huntress]

:confused: Just wondered where the 'Bruce's Failure' thread has gone ... we had a good Terry/Bruce/Batman debate going on there ... old stuff, I know, but it was interesting. Did we offend? Where'd it go? :(

[The Mad Hatter]

Good debate? That's debatable. :D But what happened was that things were getting a little too heated, so DG nipped it to prevent a flame war. The guy tends to be a bit cautious, but since this board manages to be more civil than 99% of the boards out there, I don't blame him.

[James Harvey]

Thanx, Hatter! That's basically it. I first closed it and left it up for a few hours so people can see what I posted, then at the stroke of midnight, I deleted it. The debate was getting too heated and it was posts away from becoming an all-out flame war. I've seen this before so I know what I'm talking about. I actually got a couple emails from posters saying that if the thread isn't closed, bad things will come of it. Sometimes in a thread like that, ya gotta agree to disagree, and I all saw was a fight waiting to happen. So to all you who enjoyed the thread, I'm sorry, but I had to do it. It was getting just too ugly to continue on.

[Salvor]

Really? huh I didn't even check that thread once.. or maybe I did, I don't recall.

DG, I e-mailed you yesterday about it, but in case you didn't get it: I apologize if I was responsible for things getting out of hand. I never meant to be hostile, or aggressive, or patronizing, or to offend anyone. I apologize for the part I had in sending things the wrong way.

[Bird Boy]

I never read it either. I'm not much of one on debates, and when I get into a debate...well... lets just say I would have been banned from this board...

I really hate threads like that. I participated in it once, and actually went back to it last night to see what I had been missing. Tangents like that tend to serve nobody any good purpose, and they give me a headache. It is for threads like that that I gave up on the DVD newsgroup I used to post on.

Oops.

Wasn't aware of any of those last posts ... the trouble with being on a different time I guess. Oh well ... I'll be a good girl (unlike my namesake) and won't start it again. I like you guys and don't want to get thrown off.

Hope we're all cool.

Peace.

Well, if you want it, you can keep it. No more for me, thanks.

I was a participant in that thread, and I'm a LOT more angry with myself than with anyone else. :(

I want to apologize to everyone else who got caught up in it, and to everyone unhappy enough to have witnessed that slow-motion trainwreck.

[Periphery]

Hey all, I was one of the major forces of the thread's downfall. For those who didn't see it, I like to debate and I don't really care to back down.

I am sorry to Maxie and DarkAngel, though. Hope we can have some fun, less toned debates in the future.

Maybe you, me, Dark Angel and Clayface can have fun with midi-chlorians after I watch "Phantom Menace" again. ;) (That's a reference to a suspended discussion in another thread, in case you didn't follow it.)

BTW, I kept meaning to ask you about your sig-line. It's one of the most intriguing ones I've ever seen. What's it from?

Sorry I missed the Star Wars thing. Hm.

About the tag line, it is from one of my stories. I have been writing since I was wee lad, and since I have grown up (chronically-wise) I am still writing. I think it is sticking.

I have some artwork and poems and such stuff up.

:) Definitely, Periphery. I tend to get a little too into debates sometimes. Especially on topics/subjects I love. Maxie, you'll have to let me know what you think of the whole midi-chlorian thing after you see it again. I'll have to head over to the library, see if I can find a copy. And I'm looking forward to Episode II. It'll be interesting to see if Lucas adds anything else that'll cause debate.

That's a debate worth having: What's the most satisfyingly gruesome way Jar-Jar could possibly die? :D

Probably been done already. . . .

That is weird. It works for me.

I wonder if others are having such problems?

(I have it linked in my profile Maxie. You can try that.)

It doesn't work for me there, either.
:confused: :confused: :confused:

Why does geocities hate me? :eek:

[Maxie Zeus]

This is very strange:

I click on the address.
It goes there for a few seconds, and then suddenly switches over to a "geocities can't find this page" page.
I reloaded it, and then interrupted the transfer before it switched over to the "can't find" page. I got part of an image with references to golems and vampires and ghost links.

Any idea why it starts to load it, and then suddenly gets computer-alzheimers?

Oh my. Well, nevertheless, good call DG. Scary part is, I contributed to that thread before it started to go to the dangerous levels, so it's like I'm walking away from my car when a meteor hits it. :eek:

Seriously though I'm sure those in the thread won't let things rise to the levels they don't want them to. I mean, these posters don't make these the best bat/supe forums on the net for nothin'!

No worries! :cool:

Hm. That is weird. It does work fine for me . . . wait, are you using Netscape, because my page is an Image Map page and some versons of Netscape can't take them.

If that is the case, I can link ya right to the page that has my stories, poems and artwork:

Yeah, I have Communicator 4.6. The other link you provided does work.

Thanks.

I use both IE 5.5 and Netscape 5.5 and they work ideal for me. N complaints from my end of the woods.
