I was in Oshkosh this week when I received a phone call regarding this thread.
I was asked to step in as a moderator and delete the thread.
That I will not do, but I will lock it down, and as always, Jon has the power to override this decision, so it may open up again.
In discussion and discourse, being able to review what was said, when it was said, and who said it, within a context of the discussion, will usually point out the faults, strengths and biases of those involved.
If the thread is deleted, we lose these contexts.
As a locked thread, it's my hope that the work that went into gathering the photos to initiate it continues to carry sway. I think they're too good to lose.
It's my hope that the taunting and bickering will subside - I'd like to see it end here with nobody losing privileges.
Please enjoy Gregg's photos.
