Ummm, it's simple really.....if you don't like this thread, don't read it! There, problem solved.....
If you read James's post again you'll see that your logic doesn't apply in this case. It's about the perception of the forum. This is a public forum and anyone can read these threads.
Ok, fine.....in respect to the millions of Flat Eathers all over the globe, I'll bow out......
You just want this thread to lose to the 'count a million' thread
Not me, but some people take it as a personal affront. I would suggest taking these jokes, and they are jokes, in the spirit which they are intended. A fun thread has arisen from a simple typo but apparently it's only funto some of us.

I've found a majority entertaining. Lol some of it was rather lackluster but there have been a few gems.

Well initially it pissed me off. But since I was being barraged by endless notifications... I figured I would roll with it. Now all I want is a 'flat eath' mug or shirt. LOL!!!!!

I've found this thread to be simply silly. It's less about the roundness of our planet, and more about having fun with each other! I'm a fan of 'inside jokes', and to me, that's what this thread turned into. The ccom forum has a few threads that I'm just not into, so I don't follow them. That's my choice. I do like this one, just because it's pure silliness!
And I think I can now say (regardless of my belief concerning the spherical nature of our planet) : I'm a flat eather!
Ccom forum folks aren't into offending or judging others... And certainly don't want to do any harm to others. But we are here to have fun with each other, and we even poke fun at each other. Many of us have a sharp wit or a sarcastic sense of humor, but we don't want to be judged by that either.
There are plenty of themes running on the forum. Lots of options to choose from. But, by having such a diverse group (of themes and personalities) there will be stuff we like, and stuff we don't. That's OK! Yes, we should all be accountable for our behavior, But just because some may not like a thread, doesn't mean it should be shut down. There's room for everyone!
Good lord people, enough is enough already. Regardless of what you think or feel, it's time to end this. It's embarrassing to see how this quickly spiraled out of control and yet it still continues. Does it make you that happy about yourself while stomping on someone else's back? Does that feel good? This same thing happened a while back and a lot of people left in disgust after that guy got ran off. I guess some people either didn't learn or don't care. WTF is wrong with you? If I was new and thinking of joining and I saw this, I would find another forum because this clearly isn't a welcoming sign. Yes, hundreds of cigars are in the air every day but this speaks much louder than that.
I know, I know. I'm just some noob or someone who doesn't get it or whatever meme you wish to make about me. Fvck that. No one would want to be treated like this. What if this was a family member of yours? Your wife, son, etc.! Would you still feel happy and laugh about this? I seriously doubt it. So, would you pretty please, with a cherry on top, cut the focking ****?
As I see it, a few of the posts appear to be direct insults aimed at the OP, some of the posts are just a little snarky towards the OP, and, the remaining majority of the posts are just silly. Perception is everything. If you perceive that ALL the posts are insulting then that's what you see. I too worry that outsiders might not appreciate this thread. But I'm not as worried as you. I don't think Chris is either.

I'm not sure what the motivation behind the change is, maybe someone thinks it'll make this place friendlier. It brings to mind the following quote, but I for one don't think that the "disagree" button is an insult at all, I disgree with people I like all the time.

At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...

But this is an ongoing thing where a few people attack him every time he posts.
That is childish and petty.
Making altar egos, dragging stupid threads out forever and just being nasty, isn't what this forum should be about.
Just my opinion.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
