Why was the thread locked?

[niceguyeddie]

While I'm not totally surprised it was locked, I'm still curious. I didn't see any death threats or name calling. If this was a different website I'm sure it would have gone really sour, but it wasn't.

There was thread about drug laws a few weeks ago. Some people didn't agree with each other, but it still remained civil.

Is Hot Boat's goal to have only boating related subjects? I'd like to know before I try starting another thread. When I see topics about taking your dog to Lowes and kitchen remodels I would think this place is open to pretty much whatever.

There was a thread about a month ago about the boat tag fees going up. Everyone wanted to bitch about $12 but does anyone realize why everything goes up?

It's because of all the lawyers...

No it was the mussel fee. This won't help solve the problem. They'll just give us another sticker and make us think they're hard at work doing something.

Because I don't want politics here, that's why.

It started getting pretty political so I closed it. I chose to not have politics over many different topics. It was an easy target and no one wins in a political argument anyway, so whats the point? And I truly believe boats and politics don't mix

Kool aid drinkers very seldom like discussing politics.
I guess locking a thread is some what better than deleting one. Never did understand why Wendi's thread about the stolen scooter was deleted.
No doubt being the owner of the site has it privileges. If you want the site to look like your personal Facebook page, that's what it will look like.

Then wouldn't the boat tag fee thread fall into the political category? Why was that allowed?

You're pretty much dead wrong GN7. I don't drink cool aid, never have. I'm sorry you don't agree with my position of not having a PRF, but to be honest, it would only stink up the place. As far as deleting threads, that rarely happens now. I will lock a thread down and clean up the comments that I believe are offensive, but I will not delete a thread in its entirety. And I don't have a personal FB page. Well actually I do, but I have zero friends

Thank you for your support.

It was semi boating related. Yes it was borderline and probably should have been locked down, but I chose to leave it open.

Your thread got guys like GN7 who are very politically opinionated to post up their political feelings that were completely and 100% not related to boating in any form or fashion, so I locked it down.

If you're looking to catch me in a black and white rule type argument, that ain't gonna happen. I'm as slippery as they come. And yes GN7, ownership does have its benefits, and it also has its liabilities. None of which I've asked anyone here to share in.

Sorry to change the subject but I was on a job walk last week at Toyota in Torrance and seen 2 guys from Rusher Air there. One was a gray hair with a gray beard. Anybody you know.
