I guess Lord Michael Katano of ckdu fame has more power than we realize. Apparently, he didn't particularly care to be asked questions about ckdu, as the thread is locked.

And here I thought this was a public forum, where the public could freely express their opinions. I guess as long as they agree with the moderator, then we're all free to say whatever we want. However, whatever you do, don't dare question anyone who may happen to be a friend, as it will get killed.

I in no way have anything personal against Katano. I just don't like to see someone in a position of power, whether they agree they are or not, totally pass the buck on every single issue brought up to them.

I don't know him, don't want to, and have absolutely no interest in ever meeting him. I just find it funny that as long as someone can respond for him in a short, meaningless way, the thread is allowed to continue. Then eventually he comes back with one of his famous long-winded-no substance replies. Yet when I start quoting him and his contradictory statements, it's gone-no more posts.

This has happened even though it's one of the most viewed threads on here over the past few days. Obviously, this is a subject a lot of people have an interest in or they wouldn't bother to read it.

So, either this is a big mistake and it was locked by accident, even though it's the only one over the past 5 boards this has happened to, or you've got to be careful who you decide to question.

In short, I believe it's totally wrong for that thread to be locked. It's showing blatant favoritism by the moderator as to who is 'allowed' to be a subject. This totally goes against what a public opinion message board is supposed to be.

I have a feeling the clock is ticking on this thread also.

No, in short, it all comes down to this: no one wants to hear it from rapscallions like you! So get the fuck off your high horse, and take it to a place that people give a shit. (never never land) The thread was locked because it was going nowhere, and it was annoying as shiat because everyone else that has had a problem with CKDU in the past wanted to dig up DEAD ISSUES

"WAaaaaaaah waaaah i was banned from the station! waaaaah no one likes my show waaaaahhhhh"

<i>and</i> it turned into one big 'Let's Slander Mike Catano Thread.' Uncool.

No, it turned into a thread where others who had problems with him in the past could point them out to people who don't worship the ground he walks on.

I wasn't slandering him. I was simply using his own words and showing that anything he said depended on the situation at the time-they had no meaning whatsoever-just passing the blame to someone else.

The fact that a public forum is locked for no obvious reason is why this thread has started. This one has nothing to do with him.

There are a lot more senseless threads on the boards than that one. The fact that over 4400 people have viewed it shows there's an interest. What's the problem? Again, it appears as though there is a list of people you don't dare question. Not the way a public forum should be.

If the forum was that annoying to you, I have one question. How many times did you have a look at it???

You're not fooling anyone, Viv; you can drop the whole "whatever" ruse.

Even though I don't know what that means, at least it didn't take 5 minutes to read it.

It even shows just how consistent your reponses are. Whether long and drawn out or short and sweet, they just leave me here wondering what the hell you're talking about.

Dear whatever,

Spelling Michael's name wrong this time doesn't make you any smarter than you were before. In fact, it makes you less smart.

Sincerely,

The Truth

I'm not surprised that someone who doesn't know what a "private message" is would also be unaware of what an "IP address" is.

If only real life were like the internet, where you could walk down the street with a paper bag over your head yelling (_ _ _ is an asshole) and no one would ever know who said it...

Thank you for adding the whole topic of this thread-why the other one is locked.

I have no interest in getting into the subject of the other thread. It's quite simple, why is it locked down????

I'd like to take this opportunity to quote Michael Day:

"Y'all a bunch of lilypads."

And by y'all, I of course mean PissedOff, Whatever, Val, etc.

(lilypads!)
