The Michael A. Naso Institute of Comedy

Also, the reference was to the forum community as the whole.  If you want you could use an analogy of a father and his son with his first car.

Christ, what's the big drama? Inks locked a thread that was turning into another bitchfest and, after receiving a feedback, decided to unlock. He had no obligations to unlock but did.

I don't know the content of the message Phil sent to Inks just as I don't know the content of Inks' response. All I can tell from my experience is that he's always been responding to my messages regarding moderating and never been a dick about this.

I'll admit I was less than cordial, but when you start a protest thread in FC, and The Atlas, send me a PM and a Facebook message demanding me to do something, I probably won't be as cordial as usual.

Could someone sum up for me the drama I missed yesterday?

Pleeeeeeeeeeeease !

Phil called Xahar a "street rat". Someone pulled the racism card.  Phil got pissed and made some personall attacks.  Battle ensued.

The "personal attack" phase was the last thing I saw before leaving the forum. I was looking for more details about the "ensuing battle".

That was pretty much it - just back and forth about being a racist and personal attacks.  Then I started clearing stuff out.

New thread time.

Now that would be ironic.

The Institute doesn't close its doors, Badger. There's no reason why this should end.

Really? Um, all the previous ones did eventually, but whatever.

Ok, um, the others weren't an Institute. Thanks.

Yeah, well nobody made it clear that an "Institute" is supposed to be the permanent thread.

Dave has given soft guidelines to keep threads to about 2,000 replies, as apparently the more replies a thread has, the more burden it puts on the server, so I'm going to lock this and start a new thread.

Please use the Michael Assad thread instead.
