Quit abusing your mod power, NAG
Locking my topics here with no justification is abusive.

Despite the attempts by algae to pretend that this issue is about protecting me from harrassment, it's quite the opposite. Locking my topics because people spam them with personal attacks encourages that behavior.

Re: Quit abusing your mod power, NAG
perhaps these topics keep getting locked because you should be PMing the mods?

Re: Quit abusing your mod power, NAG
You don't have a point. The Invisibility topic had crashed and burned, it should have been locked. Why are you complaining about it?

But I've seen unlocked threads you've started turn into flame wars too. . . Then they become completely pointless.

Re: Quit abusing your mod power, NAG
Cute, I'm algae.
I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Lifeline. I got a call center in Pakistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

How?
Are you willing to apologize for lying about that other forum and derailing the topic?

If posters target topics, particularly topics I started, and spam them and the topics are locked, that encourages them to do it again.

You asked for a link that the other gays here don't like you.
Moron provided it.
No lie.
I will not apologize to you for anything with the way you constantly misread and twist everything said.

Mo'ron posted a link to another forum, pretending that I've been there, and you continued the charade for many posts after I asked you not to. You chose to continue the lie and spam the topic.
