Chris asked me to delete this thread so I did so.

why? It was funny.

People are dumb about things sometimes...

I asked for it to be deleted for the simple reason that this is indeed a whistle forum and that's what we're meant to talk about here.
Yes, it was funny.
Yes, it was meaningful.
Yes, I stood behind it.
But no, it didn't belong in a whistle forum.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the thread. I enjoyed reading what you had to say.
Best,
Chris

Right. Let's stick where we belong... and behave.

Thanks anyway, Chris.
Now a good thread on how to cut crans in 4ths...

I think since there is no OT forum...I expect the whistle forum to be the main area for posting something that may be OT. I don't remember Dale or anyone else asking for us to not post OT's so I don't see the problem. If the topic is correctly identified with "OT" than those who don't care for such debate or topics can avoid it.

I have seen many debates and heated discussions about religion, politics etc... and none of them have been as hurtful or divisive as some of the "On Topic" posts I have read before. I personally find it fun and enlightening to discuss current events and things with such a diverse group of folks.

As long as people remember the "Reasonable Person Principle" free and open discussion makes the Whistle forum an interesting place to visit when the flute forums quiet.

Also when people start a topic please be mindful that others may be preparing a response and you waste their time when you subsequently close the topic. I know Chris didn't mean too but it's an easy way to get in a quick jab without having to listen to any consequent repercussion.

It's also easy to be an old fuddy-duddy and kill any joke with a "it's not funny, when you think about this-or-that..."

Bye the way, have you heard the one about the three nuns and the typewriter?

yeah..well people who do that are going to have to deal with being called "Old Fuddy-Duddies" won't they...

Was it something I said? I didn't check the forums this morning so I don't know what all the stir-up is about?

Nagdabit! I missed the whole thing! Just goes to show that you can miss some good stuff if you don't read a thread because the topic doesn't interest you.

Can someone fill me in with the gory details?

And if anyone tries to de-tail me, I promise it will be gory!

Just as well it was Chris who wanted to delete it and not the Undisputed, otherwise we's all be in trouble.

Actually kind of funny, a whole other thread about a deleted thread...
