DevilMonkey said:I happen to like the jokes, the asides, the meaningless replies in OT. I think it very much is what FWOT is about. I tried to explain it by saying the random comments were *still OK* as far as I was concerned, but that when we'd asked to let the thread go back on topic, that was when it crossed the line.

The cleaning up had *nothing* to do with any ulterior motives... it was moved to Deal Discussion, where we thought the topic belonged. In its new home, most people should be expecting discussions to remain at least somewhat on topic, and a string of funny (some more than others) but unhelpful replies didn't seem to make sense.

So nothing was overly offensive or inappropriate or even 'unworthy' of FWOT. It simply wasn't useful to the discussion, and the discussion was moved to more 'formal' areas of the site.Most threads, when left alone, find their way home!

I never get PM's anymore
