Why was that Einstein thread locked?

In summary, the conversation centers around a locked thread on a forum and the reasons behind its closure. The original poster expresses frustration with the closure and requests an explanation for it, which is provided by another user. However, the conversation continues with the original poster taking issue with a separate post and others questioning the purpose of the thread. The conversation escalates with insults and accusations being thrown, and the original poster eventually clarifies that they do not want the thread to be unlocked and were simply seeking an explanation. The conversation ends with others asking for the thread to be dropped and for civility to be maintained.

i guess you can't have an open discussion in a forum it has to be done with PM's. Seems pretty stupid. Don't care if this gets locked.

Read the guidelines you agreed to when joining the forum.

Yes I know that's what responded. There's already a thread about why the Einstien thread was locked and the mods explained and they locked it.

Then why are you complaining

Read the guidelines. Besides, everybody is sick of hearing that Einstein believed in a personal Christian god, when he didn't. Religious discussions are ridiculous, why would we want to discuss them all the time?

I know I wasn't debating whether there was a locked thread. My respoonse brought up a entirely new point. Read it agian.

I am not complaining really, I just think it is stupid.

Are my post reaching your computers? I READ THE GUIDELINES. STOP SAYING THAT
 
  • #13
Have you ever heard of reading comprehension then?
 
  • #14
So you're stating an opinion far from being worth an entire thread? Please save server space...

How does this bring up an entirely new point:

why was that Einstein thread locked?

perhaps, you sould, I asked for a specific reason on why it was closed, he gave me the link and I found the reason. I then took issue to one of the posts. Someone here needs reading comprehension, and it is you sir. Nice try, just back out of the thread, its ok everyone makes mistakes.

Can you please explain better on what exactally is your point is?

Can you also explain why you think it should be reopend? If you can explain why you think it should be reopend and give a good reason why it wouldn't be breaking the gobal guidlines then maybe a mod will reopen it.

turn of the computer and pick up an english book, brush up on your reading skills. Remember reading is FUNdamental.

Yes, people do make mistakes. Spellchecker could help you, sir. I really don't see what the problem is. The mod locked the thread and gave her reason for doing so. If you don't like it, then go find another forum to bother. Perhaps that is what you sould do. You could even try spelling einstien right. You should just let the Einstein thread go and calm down.

As for your response...open discussions are allowed. questioning a moderator's choice isn't an open discssion, PM a mod if you're so upset by this...

oh typos, I guess we have a spelling nazi here. good one.

You really aren't listening, I DID NOT TAKE ISSUE WITH WHY THEY LOCKED THE THREAD, I ASKED FOR THE LINK, I WAS GIVEN THE LINK. I can't explain it again, learn to read, and then come back, I am not here to spell things out for you. Seriously just leave this thread.

Then what is the point of this thread?

If we looked at your picture would you let it go?
 
  • #27
The caps in your post clearly poi nt to the fact that this thread has no point whatsoever.
 
  • #28
you are the one that keeps posting, you let it go, GET OUT OF THE THREAD I will say it this one last time!

Simple he wants the thread to be unlocked.

Wishbone, Can you explain why you think the thread should be unlocked and explain why it won't violate the gobal guidlines. I think the thread should also be unlocked it did look intrsesting.
and can you please ignore the gramer mistakes. It's causing this thread to become off topic and starting minor flamewar
 
  • #30
when did I say it should be unlocked? Show me where
 
  • #31
you guys really need to learn to read.
 
  • #32
Why did you make a thread if you don't want people to post in it?!

Well, I am still eager to hear your true intentions...as long as you can be civil, of course.

The title
why was that Einstein thread locked?
Can also mean "I don't understand why it was locked"
Which can also mean "Please the thread had no reason to be locked."
 
  • #35
I did, I don't want YOU guys posting anymore. My question was answered, that's when I didn't particularly desire anymore postings.
