But the discussion was "closed" with a majority against the tumblr poster based on poorly reasoned logical fallacies. Discussions should be left at a poor conclusion because of some arbitrary forum ettiquette where you're supposed to bite your tongue because 60 days has passed since the last post? That's just dumb.
Whether or not you feel it is dumb, the forums have rules. Don't want to follow them? There will be consequence. The site is not public domain and is privately ran. Â Signing up you accepted the rules upon signing.
Or how about you don't backseat moderate.
Most forums have a 120 day rule when it comes to "necroing" and even then it isn't strictly enforced. If you're annoyed, because you somehow feel compelled to read this then move along.
"And there are ways to include that context through means such as the creation of a new thread and effective paraphrase and restatement of opinions that have come before which do not require the reader to sift through ten pages in order to get to your point. "
The reader can go through as many or as few as they like.
"You can also choose to cite the most relevant points in the thread without having to worry about the posting history of people you don't recognize. "
I don't even know what you're talking about. Why would I care whether I recognize posters of not?

My words make my points effective. As for the "netiquette" discussion, that was started by you all, and is a discussion you wanted to have.
