The message you closed, i honestly wasn't trying to be offensive, but i apologize. I'll be more careful.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I didn't close anything. It may have been reported and closed by others.

I posted a music video called "Lick the Witch" (not dirty like it sounds)
claimed it was my theme song, and dedicated it to sander so he'd know when i was approaching.
only i said "know when i was coming" and then OriginalGriff went and made it weird. =)
anyway, it seems to have been reported by a number of people here, considering it was removed.
I'm not the good witch, but i'm not exactly evil either, despite Sander's protestations.

I think it is the first time since I joined CP (18 years) that I see a message like that!!!

Chris is just level-headed enough to know not to get involved in "those discussions". But it does come to a point where some people need to be told, as he put it, to give it a rest.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I support this message.
Note: I have occasionally rested near the boundaries but, I hope, never crossed them.

Actually, +9999999 (infinity)
I've seen the soapbox, but never really spent any time in there. Seems like its purpose was just to allow the more controversial discussions on sensitive topics to take place, and I don't feel we need CP to enable that. There's a million other sites better suited for that purpose.

Exactly. They're junk sites. The one nice thing about the soapbox was it was a place of "peers", not just crazy randoms.

Yeah, but you want to bring those discussions here?

The soapbox was just about the only interesting discussions CP ever had.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

I partially (actually mostly) agree... the biggest problem is that most of those decent / interesting discussions degrade to meaningless flame wars and endless loops that brought nothing more to the topic and were just for the sick of "who has it longer" or "You are wrong, and I am right".
There have been more than enough chances to keep it in the interesting level, those chances were always missused and now... it is gone.
Let it rest in peace.

Closing the SoapBox failed -
As for who's not taking "No" for an answer - just "peruse the views", below.
It seems to me that, when it comes to "the rule of law" in any of its forms, some believe it to be a one-way street which they ride down on their high horses.

To be fair, I did warn that what was once restricted to the Soapbox would spill over to the other forums, because the only outlet we had was ri[pped out from under us.

So why did y'all remove it? I don't recall seeing anything regarding that.
