The draftniks aren't getting special treatment in some positive way. They're being impacted negatively. What you're complaining about is nothing but an attempt to limit the negative impact. By acting like a little bitch, you're making some of the points of the draftniks for them.

What you don't seem to understand is that I don't care that the draftniks are being impacted in a negative way by being exposed to the attention of the general population. The case you say I'm helping them make is not compelling to me. Our sensitive draftniks don't warrant special treatment in the way that someone who starts a legitimate prayer thread deserves special treatment. They deserve the same treatment that we all get in non-prayer threads. You know, like being called a little bitch or a sensitive draft dweeb.

No, actually it was an unsolicited offer to hopefully increase the football discussion around here.

Why do you have to turn everything into a political debate?

In some ways, everything is political. But in the sense that you're probably using the word, I don't and I didn't.

It was an unsolicited offer in response to whining. And it was a bad idea.

You keep saying it was a response to whining. You're gonna have to point that out because I don't see it.

This was a completely unsolicited idea by the mods, unless I'm missing something.

See post 167 where Phobia first mentioned treating draft threads like prayer threads... in response to "concerns of draftniks".

OK, so he referenced "concerns of draftniks" but he didn't say "we got complaints".

From looking at the entirety of the thread, it sure seems to me that was an assumption on his part.

I don't see any first-hand evidence of any draftnik saying anything until AFTER the change was proposed.

He quoted one expression of concern. Direckshun and SNR both expressed concerns. They weren't the only ones, but theirs are the ones I remember off the top of my head. Phobia explicitly says he's responding to concerns. I don't know that it could be more clear than that. I'm confused by your confusion. Your last sentence makes me wonder if we're even talking about the same thing. I'm talking specifically about the idea that draft threads would get prayer thread treatment, not the general proposal to move draft content into the lounge.
