The Straits Charity in RAH?

[Pottel]

ok, time to start thinking of simply closing this thread. not banning anything. just stopping the topic.
what do my fellow mods think?

[Pottel]

i just locked it for the time being. as soon as we mods decide it will be back or closed for good.

I'd like to think we could keep this thread alive.

Just remember folks don't make hurtful/personal or disrespectful comments. It's, fine to have different viewpoints - that

The thread should be re-opened.

Any individual posts that are considered to break forum rules can be deleted if need be.

Like it or not, the issue of The Straits is a topical one amongst DS fans - and this is the only place on the web where it is being discussed. That is important.

[Pottel]

cool.
get your engines running folks :-)

First of all, I think this topic has been talked to death many pages ago, but what's up with the heated discussion and talk about telling Guy, about forum members are pitting band members and management people against each other, intrigue-making, etc.? Take a chill pill someone.

And the talk about we have to moderate ourselves in case outsiders take a peek inside and read something negative - yikes. I mean, no one here writes anything defamatory. Besides if I want to say that Mark and his music stink or that the Straits stink, anyone with a brain the size of a peanut would understand it's an opinion, not an official statement of sorts. Right? Take a chill pill someone.

Suggestion: Put this thread under Almost Straits (that's actually funny) or under General Discussion.

Just a tiny amount ...

I'm with Jackal on this one! Putting this thread under Almost Straits summarizes it very well

We probably had arrived too far, one attacking, others defending the band.

Its like when some of us tell that all the Sultans of swing that MK plays are full of mistakes and are horrible, and many of you say that no mistakes, all the versions are perfect 

Anyway there is a line that must not be crossed.

[Pottel]

imho we were far from crossing it jbaent....do you see it differently?

[Jackal]

Either I disagree or agree on that, anyone agree or disagree on that? Just a tiny amount? (And now we can keep it going for another 30-40 pages! Greeeeat!)

[jbaent]

Or we can start to talk about very different things from the main subject as usual in this forum.

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat

Ps/ By the way, Jackal, AMIT is full of threads, so you dont have to read this one if you dont want, nobody forces you to do that

I like discussions, but not when the same opinions are repeated over and over and the discussion goes nowhere. But you're right, nobody forces me to read that.
