I feel like you're misrepresenting the other side a little bit, huh Mr. Underwood? I have no opinion on the matter, but for someone who is honestly asking about the controversy, I believe the other side (or at least many members of the other side) formulated their opinion in a logical and mature enough way to be properly represented.

Scoobug, basically there was a funny thread a long time ago about goats, and eventually it was locked, because it was termed 'spam.' So since then people have occasionally made references to it, and the controversy came about when an admin locked a 'spammy' goat thread, when the author of the thread had not posted anything of the sort and wondered why his topic was deleted. So the discussion came around to why admins have the right to delete 'spam' when there is no clear line of what is spam and what is simply playful discussion or humor.

Please don't create another topic on this... I believe the debate has run its course. I just wanted to make sure both sides were equally represented, as it seemed from the Prof's comment that it was a bunch of winy babies vs. the sound judgment of admins.
