Just don't fvcking click it.
Bullshit. The forums become over run with redundant crap. That is a problem in that other topics quickly move down to pages 2 and beyond.

Everyone want to join me in making new threads in which we discuss nothing but Shanti?

Mill started by claiming there were 75 Passion threads on the first two pages of OT.
He was vastly exaggerating.
There were actually 5 threads out of the first 100 threads.
Do you honestly think that 5 threads in the first 100 is having that big of an impact on how quickly other threads move down?
Well, they might be 5 places further down instead of 1.
Big fvcking deal.

The other thing is that there are often many different discussion points about something like a film.
Is it really reasonable to expect that ALL discussion of this movie should be put in one single thread?
That makes for an unreadable thread.

I would much rather have 5 threads about the movie than have to listen to 5 DIFFERENT discussions in the same single thread.

Discussing whether the movie is anti-semitic or not is a very specific discussion. It should not be lumped together with a thread about whether you liked the movie or not or a thread about the career implications for Mel Gibson personally because of this movie.

Those are three different discussions and they deserve three different threads.

Mill's statements make it clear that his rant was based more on his views of this particular subject than on the general opposition to redundant threads. In which case, my argument is that it is not up to him to determine what people can and cannot discuss on this board. You don't see me bitching about it when there are 3 car threads on the first page.

Actually, you'd be very hard pressed to ever find a thread where I bashed Christianity. If anything I normally defend it.

You called me a "bible thumper" in a clearly derogatory manner.
And your anger at people supposedly trying to convert you by talking about a movie led me to believe that you were more irritated with the topic than with the fact that there were 5 threads on it on the first two pages.

EDIT: And I never said you bashed Christianity.

Play semantics all you want, but I never knew that AT had a problem with sarcasm and hyperbole. I mean I seriously wonder why only 10% of the people on here understand when I am being serious...

I think the order of the most discussed topics is interesting: Janets Titties followed by Jesus

OH LORD!!! I have sinned by gawking at Janets boobie, jesus my saviour must spare me from my sins...
It does make you wonder just a little bit
