I assume you're referring to the obama citizenship thread. We've had a number of threads dealing with that particular issue here, and you didn't post anything new or cite an article or something with the thread. Threads that are somewhat antagonistic in nature should try to cite some sort of article or at least outline a position in longer than a sentence or two.

So what is the new rule on posting articles?
How much commentary is required by OP?

Like Justice Stewart, we'll know it when we see it.
Simply posting a link to an article and/or quotes from the article is not enough.

As long as it is enforced equally, I won't complain.

To flesh this out a bit,
We're hoping to see more threads in wells started with more than a line or two of thought or a simple cut and paste job on an article. Generally speaking, be prepared to see your threads locked if you're getting called an RSS feed.

For starting a thread solely intended to bait out another poster. He then proceeded to taunt the guy after he responded.

I don't know about '73 but there was no meltdown here. I got myself banned for speaking the truth about some of the mods. If Mick wants to call it insulting, then that's his business, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's probably a duck.
(but don't call it a duck or you'll get banned.)
I honestly thought my banishment would last longer. Oh well, maybe next time.

Welcome back, and in Well's it should be called "the time out chair" instead of "the penalty box"

Mod's, how about keeping the flaming thread titles off of the board.
"Do you agree with Dehannen that Bush is responsible fro 9/11"
No where in the thread did I say W was responsible for 9/11 as was inferred in Disco's thread title. My opinion on W's responsibility for 9/11 is documented within Well's Hall if any one actually cared to looked (I don't know why they would).
Do you really want people inferring positions from comments taken out of context and making them threads?

Now that Scully's pointless RSS feeds are being allowed again, does this mean other rules are being relaxed and/or abandoned? I mean, can we go back to namecallling, referring to Obama as tMessiah etc....?

Speaking of name calling, since msu73 is allowed to call people "morons" and "****ing idiots" without recourse, does that mean everyone can hurl insults at other posters?
Isn't calling a fellow Spartan "moron" or "****ing idiot" who is actually on the board worse than calling a public figure "tMessiah"?

I let one Scully thread through and all hell breaks loose.
