I'm trying to remember a thread where the mods were as intentionally unhelpful as this one.
*TT* and RR in Brick and Mortar
RR and *TT* gave short worthless answers and then threatened to lock the thread just 22 minutes after the thread was created.

its a case of knowing who the OP is, it was a thread waiting for misogyny to occur and B&M is not the right place for that type of topic. Neither of us were going to encourage the thread to continue so the best thing to do is cut off the topic at it's knees by acknowledging the OP's questions isn't valid and unless there is some redeeming value we cannot see then the thread will be locked. B&M isn't an off-topic forum, it has a sense of decorum that we try to maintain that would be the same as if you wanted into a casino to play. Nothing overtly derogatory about sex, race, religion, ethnicity is permitted because just like in a real card room some action would be taken if you crossed the line (admittedly the line exists all over the place depending on the card rooms staff). I hope this explains our collective thought process, as you can see we had very good intentions - separately and together.
Tuq - I am actually glad Dynasty made that post! Its a good thread to be used as an example, it lets us communicate our thoughts when there might be miscommunication about a simple day-in-day-out policy.
