I'll Fight and On And On And On

This has been covered - use the search function.

 

That's very rude. What's wrong with starting new topics instead of digging up old ones? This is a discussion board, not an archive. If it annoys you, don't reply to the topic.

That's very rude. What's wrong with starting new topics instead of digging up old ones?

 

Oddly enough, this has also been discussed.

 

People are of mixed opinion on this matter, but the general idea is to keep all the discussions about a single topic in a single thread. Since the new album is, well, new, so is this discussion. Doing a quick search never hurts, and it's always fun to see an old thread get a bump and some new life[1].

 

That being said, I don't think that was particularly rude at all. Ideally, the poster replying will provide a link to the thread in question, but not doing so doesn't really make that rude, in my opinion. In the thread where the rudeness of "do a search" comments was discussed - now there was a rude remark.

 

[1] Additionally, when a timeless quote about this subject appears and manifests itself as a catch-phrase, it is much easier to find the origins of that catchphrase if there is only one thread on the topic. That is why there is only one thread on Glenn's braces.

because starting new topics on topics already covered isn't new. it is redundant and posting like content in already existing threads is just the etiquette that tends to be observed on this discussion board.

Alright, alright, alright...I'm sorry. Didn't mean to be rude. But for the record, it's not like this is the first time that someone's been hammered for not going "by the book" on this board...I've seen plenty of folks skewered for it. BUT - it doesn't make it right by doing it to someone else. I promise to be more nice.
