Aside from the implication that Elmo being happy (rather than proper phrasing putting the emphasis on policy change) is the need for the thread to originate in Hellfire, the reason is simple. Political discussion goes in Hellfire. Insults (real or perceived) aren't the defining characteristic of Hellfire; political discussion is. The insults are free. Same thing with tech threads; they're moved to the appropriate forum. As this needs to be. Simple as that. *shrug* |

Who says it can't be here, in a forum specifically designed to be a catch-all? Or in the rants and raves area, or in the useless Heckfire zone? Your arbitrary delineation is based on when you had any truck around here. No longer your forum, chief. |

And if I cared anything beyond a mild concern to not see this kind of crap in the General forum, I'd do more than just quote what other board members have been requesting, and offering a simple explanation for the rationale when it was you who expressed further clarification. Oh, hey, but it's just me, right? |

The fact that this thread devolved into anger (and the fact that the original poster knew it likely would) suggests that it probably belonged in hellfire all along. |

Hopefully he meant this particular thread. |

Yep, politics definitely belongs in hellfire. |

Unless you're trying to suggest that Elmo being happy about a policy change must go into Hellfire for some inherent reason. No, we're suggesting that discussion of a poltically controversial policy change should go into Hellfire because that's the purpose of Hellfire. I don't care if it's Elmo that posted it, or whether or not he's happy about it. If he was happy that the policy at his workplace had changed and there was now going to be ice cream on Friday afternoons, I wouldn't give a ****. I don't particularly give a **** if there's some explicit rule saying it needs to go there; the fact that there isn't is why I'm not calling for Elmo to be punished. |

Politics in and of themselves don't have to go in Hellfire. I would say the reason Elmo provided no specifics was to keep it from Hellfire. That said, 11 posts out of 30 discussing whether or not the thread needs to go to Hellfire is a bit overboard, where a few reports will do without the added benefit of us having to split off all the off topic comments when we do move it. |
