No complaints about the SoS using his awesome dictator-like bastard powers to lock a thread which had gotten out of hand?

Good!

Though I still say: bring back the Thunderdome. I honestly want to see AD and Eðo in a death match. I'll take bets on who'd run away first.

What was Thunderdome?

[Miestră Schivă, UrN]

Thunderdome (requires OldWitt login) was my abortive idea in how to deal with the periodically reoccuring threads of tit-for-tat flaming and abuse between Talossans. That when a thread got out of control, instead of being deleted/closed it would be moved to the Thunderdome, thus balancing free speech with ordinary people not wanting to read that miéida.

Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring, and that was damn near the death of us all... Now, when men get to fighting, it happens here, and it finishes here! Two men enter, one man leaves.

Wittenberg authorities gave up on it, partly because, *ahem* a certain party insisted that for any post of his to be moved to Thunderdome was evidence of moderator bias against him and it was no longer worth it.

*sigh*

What is wrong tonight that you are trying to gin up a fight, Miestra?  Stop trolling me because you're bored -- "oh my no one wants to argue about closing down that thread? and hey also a certain someone keeps getting offended when people decide who gets to speak."  I'm not interested in the bait.  No one but you enjoys the fighting.

Is it really a fight? No truth whatsoever? Just asking for a friend.

Well, even though she might sent you here to ask, I'm still not interested in a fight.  Sorry.

he said, taking the bait  ;D

Nah, seriously, we're here very close to the territory of "the SoS is a pawn of the Seneschál and does her bidding", which is where I thought the closed thread was going

Preach!
