why was my thread in off topic locked?

[Duckers]

The one in which I asked about the worst troll ever. What was wrong with it?

If the character of my thread is considered inappropriate, then I will refrain from posting such material. Sorry 🙂

 

[Paulson]

It involved my name 😉

Actually, it would have turned into a flamefest, and my name would have came up a million times. No need for repetitiveness..

 

[Duckers]

Paulson,
you are not a troll anymore.
You overcame that problem a long time ago 🙂

 

[Paulson]

I realize...

But still, it could have become bloody... 😀

 

[JayPatel]

yeah it was a potential flame war just waiting to happen....better to nip it in the bud then resort to mass bannings 🙂

I'm not surprised the Mod's locked it. It could have been construed as an insult to wards any people mentioned as trolls in the thread, and also it was bound to devolve into a flame war.

FWIW, Paulson was the biggest nef in his time IMHO, but luckily he's since overcome that issue.

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Nef maybe, but not a troll for Paulson. Except maybe that time he snapped.

 

[HansHurt]

I think it just looks bad for the site....besides all the info is available in the Faq for comparison.

 

[Paulson]

I've snapped twice on a certain member, and showed a way around a feature.

Hopefully my stupidity is gone 🙂

BTW, ya, I was the "nef" of the century. Not troll. Stealing people's money is wrong.

They already have the troll list at the top of the trade/sale forum. You can just read the list of offenses and then decide!
