Re: Omnivorous
I won't be here tomorrow. I have to go visit my brother who's dying of cancer. And his wife. She's also got it.
Open it up.

Re: Omnivorous
No.
We're all dying, sir. That's no reason to encourage incivility.
In light of your circumstance, I'll reopen the thread Sunday rather than tomorrow.
Another Admin may gainsay me.
Edited by AdminOmni, : Same.

Re: Omnivorous
Robin, you have come as close as anyone could to persuading me to do so--your nihilistic soul is my half-brother.
But I closed the thread because multiple posters (including moderators who should know better) had exceeded the bounds of civility and reason.
I will reopen it after Morpheus has knit some raveled sleeves and no sooner.

Well, you damned fool. Sleep is supposed to knit up the raveled sleeve of care?
It doesn't do it. It just postpones it.

I am certainly a fool, and I may be damned: I can live with that.
I owe you a poem.

Well, before you kick off, which no doubt will be soon, you might want to come clean with this nonsense.

Re: Omnivorous
Omni, that was just a little country hard ball. Open it back up for important comments.

I'll just comment that I agree with AdminOmni's assessment of the thread in Message 121.

The 'On Judging Others' thread
I disagree with it being shut down.
Although it may cause some intemperate reactions on both sides I think the discussion about robinrohan's comment on the old Vets he saw and the reaction it has provoked is an interesting discussion.
I'd like the thread to be reopened.

Except that the discussion about robbinrohan's comment on the old Vets isn't in line with the topic. Opening Post.
The thread veered away from discussing the injunction not to judge people to personal discussions about participants and their opinions.
The thread had a chance to get back on track after the first shutdown, but it didn't. The climate remained intemperate.
I agree with AdminOmni. The thread is done.

Re: The 'On Judging Others' thread
MT, in my humble, fallible mortal moderator opinion, that thread is history: I won't reopen it.
I recommend that the topic be recast as a PNT without the personal elements. Threads focused on a participant's personal conduct or style almost always turn into a donnybrook.
Surely some clever member can pose the essential question in the abstract or hypothetical, so that every disagreement will not be perceived as a personal attack, and every parry a thrust.
