You know full well that any subsequent argument will have its own absurdly long thread (like this one) in which members can register their feelings. Suggesting that restrictions to posting in the "Welcome Back" thread somehow make your "battle" vs. another member unwinnable is completely misleading.</font>
No one has suggested that it makes the battle "unwinnable". What is absurd is that there are people who point at the lack of dissenting opinions in "welcome back ____"-type threads as evidence that everyone is happy that ____ is back. I once pointed out on one of these threads that not all were posting welcome back messages and was promptly flamed by those pompously accusing me of being negative.

And some of us left the Omni forum completely until it stopped. To an outsider it came across as stupid and annoying. The hijacking of threads caused me to stop posting.</font>
The wise man speaks! To tell you the truth, we in the COE and anti-COE camps got tired of it ourselves, but will once in a while still poke fun at each other.

To robb: COE shall rule OMNI!

And to ozstamps: You are correct, this thread should be closed soon, as it has now become about a specific member, though it wasn't that way when it started. It's just that certain posters feel that it's always about ____.
