My News AH thread closure?

I'm a bit confused, if you are not in any private forums and you don't know anyone in a private forum, how do you know if they are cliquey on other threads or not?
To be clear I was not on about that thread as i have not read any of it, have not opened the thread, i was on about boards in general.
@ the first bit - I'm not saying whether or not I'm in a private forum, because people will believe me to be biased one way or another whether I'm in one or not. My point is that people are saying that the thread was cliquey, and that AH is cliquey from people in private forums keeping their cliquey attitude in AH also. If someone like me, who does know know which people are members of which private fora, can not see a cliquey attitude, it can't be as bad as some people are describing it. I stand to be corrected, of course.
My second point wasn't directly in response to yours, more a general observation based on the feedback thread.

Of course I didn't. The thread didn't offend,annoy or upset me. I merely found it quite inane. Much like this thread tbh.Did you report any of the posts?
You're secretly happy I was plugging your forum
Oh, thanks. I have a knife, would you like to ram it in my back while you're at it?

Why are you following / reading it if you find it so? There are plenty of threads I find inane in AH but I don't come into feedback kicking up a stink.
Yet here you are
I've seen how this goes. Mod warning kicks in, posters act greatly offended. Abide by the warning, make the occasional snide reference to the warning, warning given again, posters begin to believe it's their right to have this thread, more snide references, flirting and other rubbish leading to a lock and an attempted "revolt" against the mods in question.You are of course welcome to your opinion, you've expressed it well, a little too well for something you find inane.
Forgetting your general opinion on the thread, do you not think the whole thing could have been handled a little better? i.e. - warning first and then close?
Also, how do you feel about mods expressing a more or less "good riddance" type of opinion toward a poster who closed his account?
With respect to a poster closing his account because his position had become "untenable" Yeeeeeeeeah.... Strikes me that he may well have needed a break from here anyway if that's his "position" As for the mods Question, Super Rush is entitled to his opinion. He doesn't have to be PC..... That would make feedback threads like this pointless if he did.0 -

Ah, you see now you're just winding me up I'm in feedback for an entirely different reason other than finding something "too inane" Why are you getting so worked up over something you care very little about? It's clear something is getting to you about this.Yet here you are

To your first point, all of this happened in the "I found a safe thread". The snide remarks continued but the thread was re-opened. All other threads are given this courtesy but "my news" wasn't.
That poster is entitled as much to his opinion as super-rush is, so no need to belittle it with "inverted commas". Indeed, no-one is asking super-rush to be "PC", but perhaps given his position, it may be in his interest to be a little more considerate to those who give AH so much, no? Saying that the feedback forum would be pointless is a moot point as it appears to be pointless in any case.
Moreover, the ill-feeling it has generated in here may do much more damage in the long run than any snide comments in a thread that would have run it's course anyway.
I for one have lost all interest in AH because of how the feedback has been received in here.0 -

I'm really not and I really don't see how you've drawn that conclusion from my previous posts here.Why are you getting so worked up over something you care very little about? It's clear something is getting to you about this.
I am going to take a wild guess on this one and say that you're very wrong and that all other threads are not given this courtesy...... I don't see why you think they are given you've only provided one example.To your first point, all of this happened in the "I found a safe thread".

if you begin to censor mods in feedback then you've got an issue. Should he have been sensitive to what looked like a "threw the rattle out of the pram" scenario? Nope.That poster is entitled as much to his opinion as super-rush is, so no need to belittle it with "inverted commas".

I really think After Hours will live on long after this clique dissolves.... (viewers if you want to know the members just check who thank the opposing posts to mine) Peoples come and peoples go.... I am glad you've grown tired of AH. Go and explore this site instead of going into AH. It's amazing the wealth and abundance of knowledge that exists on topics you didn't even realise you were interested in on this forum. Instead of reading the same old conversation day in day out on different topics in AH, go and read something which may actually tickle your bell.Moreover, the ill-feeling it has generated in here may do much more damage in the long run than any snide comments in a thread that would have run it's course anyway.

hmmm...seems like you are rather annoyed with the thread.I'm really not and I really don't see how you've drawn that conclusion from my previous posts here.

I read boards a lot and this is generally the pattern it follows....there was lots of OT chat on the Olympics threads for example and people were taken up on it. The thread wasn't closed without warning.Few things here.... First is a wee bug bear of mine. You do realise that "moot point" means "debatable" it's just that the context that you've used it here and indeed a lot of people seem to use it around here doesn't actually allow debate.
Thanks for that, I feel like an idiot nowWith that out of the way, if you begin to censor mods in feedback then you've got an issue. Should he have been sensitive to what looked like a "threw the rattle out of the pram" scenario? Nope.
I never suggested mods be censored. Compare the way dr.b and super-rush have acted on this very thread. There is more than one way to skin a cat. Being sensitive is one thing, sticking a knife in the back, is something else entirely.I really think After Hours will live on long after this clique dissolves....

Checking the thanks works both ways - wouldn't that mean there are two cliques here? A tad ironic claiming one group claims to abhor such behavior. In any case, plenty of posters who actually posted in the my news thread have came in here to say there was never a clique-ish vibe to the thread which is true. I totally refute the clique point (it is NOT a moot point - am I doing it right?).
As regards being tired of AH, I fully agree with you. I have indeed come across the Pripayt post before. If you find Pripayt interesting, there is a brilliant documentary about the liquidators - can't remember the name of it just now....but yeah don't be worrying about broadening my horizons 0 -
