Locked threads

I always check out the locked threads. It's like a train wreck, it's tragic, but you have to look.

My thoughts drifted to the "Lock Tight" and fastener stuff.

Some times with older equipment one or more screws or threaded fasteners will bind up and won't turn.

Pfft I seem to like folks who seem to suddenly disappear. I suppose I like the firebrands.

It’s the Internet version of alien abduction.

Most of the locked threads are cleaned up as well, so the worst of it is usually gone by the time I find it. It is kinda fun sometimes to see a thread and think "that's gonna be a lock", and later see that it is indeed locked.

The only thread I started and got locked was an apology and enlightening thread. At the time it seemed everything was getting locked so I started one called "I'm Part of the Problem" in witch I apologized.

It was to acknowledge we are all part of the problem and to be part of the solution instead. Some got it and others didn't so it got closed.

I've got into a few tiffs over the years though generally I try to avoid confrontation. If someone puts my systems down though it tends to get my back up. I've a certain amount of pride in them.

I do like a good debate

Yea same.

And if many people get involved, its a mass-debate. Which is also pretty good.

get it?

Unfortunately very fine line between debates & arguments.

Absolutely not true.

I find controversy without looking
Most (if not all) locked threads have well earned it.
I completely respect that everyone has an opinion. I don't get (and never will) why some can't be happy until their opinion is the only one. We can in fact agree to disagree and its not the end of the world and doesn't effect anybody's quality of life. Just saying

Well said, friend.

I agree with the OP. As soon as I see a locked thread, I go to the last page, to see what happened! Then I go back and read the thread, start to finish. All for educational purposes!

Kind of like police car chases

More like a burning building. You just hope everyone gets out alive.

Here in so cal, chases are the weirdest thing- you know how they are going to end, they ruin the traffic, but we can't help but watch them anyways. They even will preempt news to follow a chase.

I just wish there were copies of all the locked threads in a Locked Thread forum. Could be a very educational place for AKers to peruse.

Bless the mods for cleaning up when the excrement impacts the rotational ventilator device, and keeping AK the best place on the Interwebs.

Bless the mods

No discussing moderation!!!

I really like that idea. Make it so.

So you're saying,
The what not to do forum.
I personally can do without the train wrecks, the name calling the inference of I'll will (the evil eye, the end of humanity the what rock did you crawl out from.)
I like the all audio no attitude mantra.
This really is a great place if we let it be so.
They can have a new website, maybe, "Beat me in the head with a blunt object until I agree with you " (kind of catchy )

From reading the title of the thread my first thought was someone having a problem with a bolt being jammed.

Silly me.

I feel an uneasy presence about.
