I was once in a band called Jumpwagon.

I was once in a band called "Missing Cat".....
 
 
 
You may have seen our posters.
 
 
 

I used to be in a band called white lines.
 
 
 
It was very middle of the road.

 
Pfft....... that's nowt.
 
I used to be in a band called "The Dyslexics"
 
 
We had a string of top forty sh1t.

Agree. It may be valid but is a bit offensive for the reasons stated in the OP. The forum has become a wee bit like a neighborhood with a homeowners association that sends out letters about your lawn or some other nonsense but at least we don't have to pay dues... or do we? Heck, I'm not sure where my posts should go... I am glad to have overseers to put my junk where it belongs!

IMHO, two of the threads that were locked recently were locked for reasons which could apply to 99% of what's posted here.
 
"I see no point in letting this thread continue. " - Most threads don't have a point in the first place.
 
"there is nothing further to be gained from this." - Same as above. 
 
My guess is that a bunch of folks must have reported those particular threads.

Anyone who reports a CH thread should be banned. They should just read another forum...

Thanks for popping in and acknowledging acceptance of my apology. And I accept yours also Beepster. Let's try to put this behind us and write it off as some community bonding where someone spiked the punch and some already emotionally stressed dude may have freaked out a bit (that's me I'm referring to here... just to be clear. lol).
 
Let's also have this include chatting with each other if you feel comfortable with that. I'll do my best to respect the topic and the posters should we cross discussion paths here. :)

The apology for 'jackwagon' was an indirect thing. It's not at all what this was about. I actually thought it was a great word choice also. I was offended... no mistake.. and I even made a small reference to it in the original thread... but took no harboured offense at that.
 
@everyonelse
I did not ask to have that 'theramin' thread closed.
 
Wookie has contacted me about this and asked that same question, so he seems to be on this.
 
I would also like to agree with everyone here and say that I was incredibly disappointed by the choice to lock that 'theramin' thread. Things were going very well, community relations were improving. The only reason I didn't complain about it being locked, was I felt I had already draw enough attention to myself. Fire-damage control had become more important than falling on the admins radar again.
 
I felt acknowledged... which directly led to my own apology in the matter. That the thread then got locked seemed 'trigger happy' in nature. Understandable I believe, but a mistake nonetheless. It should not have been locked imo. You lock a discussion when things spiral out of control... not when the community bonds in some way and tries to make things right.

Well said Godling.
 
Good to have you on board.

Word.

I think it's best if we just let this all go away and leave it at that. Too much speculatin' and explanatin' as it is. Everyone could be making some tunes (which is the whole point) instead of rubbernecking at this particular car wreck.
 
We good? We're good. That's all I need.
 
Again, guys... please don't take this out on John. This is not his fault. I am just sorry that this became so disruptive.
