Bottom line: the intention of the mod who locked the thread was to help, not to censor. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
Also, I do believe that Strapples understands now that he ought not to request that threads be closed simply because he does not like the content. He can feel free to correct me or add to that. Please don't worry that this sort of action will become the norm on WP.
You can always just ask, too. That helps ward off misconceptions pretty quickly. I often get PMs along the lines of "hey what happened with xyz?" and I answer them as best I can without violating anybody's privacy.

God, you're so reasonable. Stop it.

I think I will indeed add to you gwenevyn...
It Iis not that I don't just like the content it is that I find things that others may find as a "joke" t be offending to mr. Does not help that I am an autie on an aspie site. And I am a rather sensitive one at that.

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.

Probably doesn't make these types of discussions any easier, when you consider the fact that not only are a lot of aspies blunt, they can also be pretty sensitive too. Kind of ironic.

You do realize that would take some surgery, right? That would be expensive, I'd try but most people aren't wild about the idea of being operated on by an unregistered surgeon in the back of a Chinese restaurant. So unless you have the money to make that commitment...

Krista, i also hate how strappy can dish it out but not take it, and how his s**t is tolerated and protected in what seems a pretty hypocritical manner. i don't get it either. i didn't see the thread you are talking about. but i just found out today that if you download firefox and do all this crap, then you can block strapples and won't have to see his posts anymore. i know it doesn't really address the injustice of it, but i certainly think it will help.
