I found it!



On a serious note... There is one small thing about this forum that has always bothered me just a little- the heavy hand that the moderators seem to think they need to take with serious discussions. The vast majority of threads are "This girl liked my kilt" or "Some idiot in Wal Mart did something annoying" and those kinds of threads are fine. But ones like this help us to genuinely get to know each other- they help solidify us as a community. All too often when we start to actually talk openly and honestly, the thread gets closed down. Well I think that this thread has been a real positive thing for this board. We have been able to talk as people- not sterilized, not deleted- and I for one have found it to be a very enlightening experience.

Thank you, moderators, for the job that you do- and for letting this thread go on and letting us have this discussion! This kind of thread shows that we as a community have the maturity to discuss a potentially divisive subject matter in a constructive way. Open communication like this really helps to build the comaradarie among us. I'd say this thread proves the quality of the people here, and more conversations like this in the future should be encouraged with slightly less moderation- like was done in this thread. Old friendships have become stronger (this post was inspired by a PM conversation between Bugbear and myself) and new ones have grown- Biblemonkey! This is by far one of the best threads this forum has had since I joined 3 years ago.
