Anyone have any ideas why this was shut down. I didn't get through sayin' my piece.

Beats me. I actually thought the discussions were generally decent on that particular thread, given the emotional issue there. Maybe it was the mention of Mars Hill and someone at Mars Hill had a fit?

I asked the mods to delete or lock it. It was getting out of hand & that was not my intention when I started the discussion.

Well Tac at least they listened to you !!! I ask them the same thing on the river accident thread that went sour ,she only locked it ,,its still there for all to see ,,why she would see the need to leave it there is beside me . I guess the feelings of the Gay outway the dead .

tnt, the thread was locked, not removed.
Daniel, I wanted to talk to you about the OT. I'm going to start a thread on it and put it in Miscellaneous. Oh man, you don't think it was me getting way off topic that got it locked? I mean the whole thread was off topic already.

No not at all if getting off topic caused posts to be closed then pretty much all forums I read/participate in would be closed. I am suprised the forum in question hadn't gone to a discussion of evolution... That is usually where they end up.

I love a good discussion as well as anyone but when it turns into a shouting match, name calling, or slinging accusations, it's time for it to be closed.

Do you think it was more so than other posts which have been left open? Just curious.

Hi Daniel, for me personally, yes, it was. David L. accused me of getting satisfaction out of getting everyone riled up and spreading more hate, I don’t know what he meant by “more” hate. e wanted to know why I started the discussion, as though I was trying to cause trouble. I don’t remember ever seeing on this forum anyone ever being questioned as to why a thread was started.
It wasn’t so much the discussion of religion coming into play but that the subject of homosexuality seemed to be rather touchy for some people.

Taciturn, I'm sorry if my wording came across the wrong way. That wasn't my intent!

No I don't know what kind of Pm's you got, and that isn't fair for you to get them either. Whomever sent them to you, should be really ashamed. Anyone that would judge you without KNOWING or asking you if that's what your opinion was- well, then they are no better than what they were assuming you to be. Ya know? Take that crud with a grain of salt.
The good on that thread outweighed the bad though, that's what makes it disappointing to me. I've seen this subject debated, discussed and argued many times on the site I help with, all of which WERE NOT as civil as the debate/discussion on here. That to me, means the thread was a great discussion and was doing good.
I'm not trying to be offensive to you, but if that were me in your shoes, I would have ignored the Pm's, and just left the thread standing. If need be, I would try to forget it was even there. When people take the time to respond in the nature they did on that thread, to me, that should have been taken into consideration. I don't know if it was, but reading back through it, it doesn't seem that it was. It seems like you immediately reported it after you were slighted, and didn't think of the people, and the time they spent replying to you.
You know I love ya, so I hope you understand where I am coming from. I just strongly disagree with the way that was handled.
