Boss said no political meme, and what happened?

"Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt"

"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."

I'm sure the thread can be reopened, but we'll let everyone have a chance to read the last 2 pages.

I woke up late this morning and saw what had happened to my favorite thread, and was just rather livid! I'm not sure if it's because some folks are stoopid, or just can't be bothered to follow directions, or don't think rules apply to them!!!

When my wife came home from work yesterday she made the following comment, and it immediately popped into my head when I saw the meme thread locked, and why... "People are idiots! Most of them anyway!!!" She just finished a tough week at work, and apparently the final one was a real humdinger.

Oh well, life goes on...

It was almost a year ago to the day the same thing happened (go back to page one on this thread)

So I've just edited out 2 pages worth of dead links.

If you've posted a meme in the thread, care to page through and see if any of yours are dead and see if there is a permanent link for them, or delete the post?

Thread locker - comes in red and blue. One's kind of permanent. The other, not so much. Either way - they both take some effort to break their seal on the situation.

Why on earth can't some folks here read and comply with simple guidance?

Very VERY frustrating.

It is rarely a newb; but instead someone who should know better.

Some folks think that they are so clever, that whatever they have to post will be worth breaking the rules for.

Not wishing to belabor it, the thread is back open. Hopefully it can stay that way. I'm curious why the rolleyes?

My impression, the rolleyes were directed at the offender, who caused the shutdown.

Had just looked over 195. 20 posts. 12 memes and one is political. Thought it looked more like a chat room.

Sweetbabyjesus how can you not GET that your repeated stupid multi-quote bullshit is part of the issue?
For the love, pay attention.
