A compromise, perhaps?

Inks,

How about we'll be allowed to have our deluge thread, but without posting our comments, which indeed sometimes can turn nasty, or links to one's entire posting history?

That's a longshot, of course, but maybe we should find a common ground here.

That would require working to monitor the thread

Inks seems to like doing his job

He said part of the reason why he closed the thread was because he doesn't want to do the work to monitor it, so I'm not sure.

Look, just like the Parliament tried to reason with King Charles I one last time, we need to try a little reasoning with Inks, before we'll cut his head off and proclaim the Commonwealth.

Plus, that's not the primary reason it was locked.  The primary reason is that the thread, in principle, goes against Dave's idea for what the forum should be.

It becomes funnier and more ridiculous everytime I see it said.

It's sooo easy to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.

So, since both sides are unwilling to compromise, we have no other choice but to proclaim the Commonwealth and cut off Inks' head, while forcing The Mikado to exile in the Netherlands.

I second this.

The only thing I'm worrying about is The Mikado returning from exile after a decade, resuming his powers and then sentencing all inkscides to be hanged, drawn and quartered. Also, ordering Lief to be digged out of his grave.
