Just wondering, handy to know Rolling Eyes

On a serious note, the propensity to lock threads stops conversation (of whatever quality) between members.

There comes a point when locking is needed, but not when you think you can't be bothered discussing it any more. We *are* adults here, though sometimes everyone seems to act a bit childish (including myself!).

My usual mode is to tell the coach "Good luck upon your return in X days." Then he can have the last word for a while. Smile

I'm fine with that thread getting locked, it was past due anyway.

HM felt his point wasn't getting heard so he ended it. *shrug*

He's having a good at it.

For anyone unclear on why I locked it. The arguments were getting circular but more personal between 2 members (me being one). My response to the post previously would have made the situation more volatile, so instead I ended it there.
