That thread was toxic to the core.

The OP wasn't bad, was it?
E: okay that bolded stuff was pretty bad. but that got added in later, and shouldn't have been.

lol nvm!
My personal favorite:
DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE PAPA JOHNS TO HITLER. Hitler acted on his opinions. Papa Johns didn't. Hitler discriminated people. Papa Johns didn't. You people really don't get my point, do you? *Facepalm*

So if Hitler ever opens a pizza shop, its still cool not to buy his pizza just because hes Hitler right?

This was possibly the stupidest comparison ever to be made captain hyperbolic argumentation. Nothing like stretching it to the absolute extreme.
Anyway, the bigger question there is what burners he's using for his pizza... that'd sure make you question eating it.

They don't close every old thread just because its old. The reason they closed this one is because SOMEBODY decided to pull out a crazy necro for really no good reason. The conversation wasn't going anywhere so they closed it.

Oh I think my video with dramatic effects was about to ensure another couple of pages of hilarity.

It certainly erupted faster than I thought it would

Wow, didn't think the Russian one would be censored like that. I mean, the discussion wasn't great but it's a huge civil rights deal in the world right now...
*Edit* Ok, it seems like it was nonstop trolling. Wow.

Should've just banned the bigots and wait for more Russians to read it and chime in with their opinions... but then again you look at the level of maturity and intellect that some of the posters there displayed, and realize that civil discussion was barely maintainable.

There is a thread like this? lol I would have liked it if they just hammered down on the stupid people, the idiots, and the bigots on that thread. But I think that will be too much for the mods.

It does seem unfortunate that a legitimate discussion was shut down because the trolls couldn't be contained.
In that situations it feels like we "lost"

Confusing this one. Maybe a legit discussion (I had my waffling say) or maybe just complaining... BUT

User was temp banned for this post.
Shortly after the thread is closed by Manifesto7 with the comment 'Dont be lazy.'
So.... What? The only real difference is that one is a random poster, and one is staff? Unless the added 'Great logic' part is enough to induce the ban?
Either way, I don't think the OP was being lazy, and the thread although a bit complainy in nature, had a legitimate theme. I'd prefer more discussion rather than it being just shut down straight away. I could see it being reasoned that the OP was one sided or lacked content I guess, but lazy? Nah.
Maybe I'm just in a bit of a complainy mood today though lol, bah!
