Hey Chill every body deep breath thats better
Why announce your leaving who cares
17,000, 20,000 or 40,000 1more or less is but a tiny drop in the ocean
and if its locked try again from a new angle
I have read and re-read the opening post. I still think (and remain unchanged on this) that people deserve to be told why they have had threads locked. I don't know in this case and it is pointless to speculate.
However, to throw your toys out of the pram and storm off is a bit silly, if not childish. I guess some people just don't know how else to react. On both sides I think the golden rule applies - treat others as you want to be treated.
If you had a post locked for any reason would you want to know why it had been done?
If you are in any sort of relationship at all, would you want to be with someone who threatened to flounce out every time there was a problem?
It's just about mutual respect ... nothing more.
btw - I DO consider my own situation resolved on this matter. I'm just speaking in general terms here and more about poppymac.
