As I recall... the thread in question was locked and I explained why.
"And on that note..... This thread has
gone off track and has
been played out."
The thread was supposed to be about"Rights - Law professor speaks on exercising 5th amend rights"
But turned into a discussion about other stuff14 pages later.
- Police Pay
- Nepotism
- Teachers
- DNA
- Exonerated prisoners
- Dissertation
- You name it....
I do not mind straying for a short spell but when the thread does no go back on topic and continues to be a thread about anything else... it is played out and should just be closed. I can tell when the thread is no longer of any value.
I have seen LW close threads for the same reason and that seems to be fine but not when I do it.I do notneed to closeit because I have "lost" and have nothing to fight back with. I stopped because it was the best interest for all. He even acknowledges "Well it was OT and lockable"
In regards to his following comment... "but not good form if a mod was participating in the OT chatter" I have seen all mods do this. There were 7 posts after mine and it simply was still headed off topic. I found myself responding to member posts about off topic items and decided enough was enough. It truly was played out.
I do not desire to go off topic but I too am only human. Every thread will sway and then get back to the original subject.
But as usual.... other members and moderators are allowed but if LEO does it.. OH MY!! For Shame!! :lol:
And the funny part is that the members that are complaining are the same that have never liked me here and have gone out of their way to bash me. Even Doug has taken the time to chime in too!! Like clockwork!
Unlike the other moderators here.... I do a lot morechatting on here so I have more opportunity to go off topic with so many members being involved. I do my best to not let that happen but I try to answer all questions andpoint out thingsthat need to be noted.
