A few things:
If you want to set up another Foffa thread, feel free... let the biggest troll do so, you will get flak from others down the road and given 5 years of history you seem to be giving Ian strong grounds for considering it harassment... watch your words carefully, it is your liability.
There really is no point trying to fill posts with links about Foffa and trying to keyword them, the forum uses rel="nofollow" and links no longer count against external sites.
Re-read these last few pages, hell the last few years... aren't you all embarrassed?Really well said.
William.
That's very clever actually, and I guess it's fair enough.
Did I edit the title? No.
Was it censorship? Hell no.
But... it was edited. The editor in this case was Wicksie, and yes I believe that thread titles reflect the community and so the community should be able to make them clearer and more useful.
However, you do realise that every time this thread hits the top of Google, or is bumped, that it is Wicksie who faces the continued harassment and whining from those who perceive themselves to be on the short end of it (Ian springs to mind). It's all fine and dandy for the usual trolls to carry on flogging this dead horse, but it's Wicksie that is in the front-line.
I've chatted to her, and she's pretty sick of getting the kicking, and she also thinks that after 5 years this is a tired thread that deserves to fade away.
Given that restoring the thread would certainly continue to cause issue for Wicksie, I'm not going to do it. I don't care about Foffa or Ian, but I do care about how members of the community get flak from others and I prefer she didn't and think it's pretty cowardly of the trolls to let her take that flak.
A few things:
Do as you please, but censorship did not occur as at no point did I intervene to edit the title. Given it has been edited, and given that I understand totally why Wicksie did so, I also will not be editing it back... she deserves some peace, and you guys get to whip up a hassle that she takes whilst you bask in your (self-perceived) glory.
