What happened to the "Wag the Dog" thread?

[bryjcom]

Don't see it anymore. It vanished.

Looks like it got out of hand and was put in the trash by one of the staff. With the current situation I would like to remind everyone that getting upset and discussing these issues is one thing.

But just like bad cop threads many of these quickly go from write your congresscritter to come and get them to worse in just a few posts. Once the thread becomes something that might come back as an issue for the owner then we have to do something about it and there have been many threads in the last month that are like this.

Oh, OK. What was said though? I thought it was rather civil. We were just discussing everyday topics...You know.... The normal stuff like discussing how Donald Rumsfeld armed Saddam with chemical weapons and stuff

Some folks can't handle the truth and instead of discussing with respect will resort to name calling.

It did generate some serious heat and that's the mods call, especially with all the bad stuff headed our way.

I think it was a shame the thread got hijacked. It's a damned good movie and it would have been good if the discussion had stayed fairly close to topic.

It is my fault, I let a member get my goat. I sent a note of apology to bryjcom.

Wow.. I thought it was about a movie.. I never even poked my head in.

There was a chance to make someone get angry and I missed it.. DAMN IT!

This happens to me quite often.

Thanks for helping us out when we need it, Jerry. We all need the occassional reminder & realize that it benefits ALL of us in the long run.
