Confess! Do you ever read "locked" threads?
If it's a real 'flamefest', sometimes, I do. I want to see what / who got it locked. And, I especially want to see what the Mod has to say who locks it.

:spank:

Usually, I can tell ahead of time if something is going to get locked...either in the short or long run. And, I don't even bother to post.

:evilgrin:

What about you?

2. I go out of my way to read 'em.
Sort of like cyber-rubbernecking, I guess.

10. Best reading of the day
I actually missed the flame war today so I went back and read all those locked threads. Guess what? No surprizes. They really make you yawn at a certain point, but I maintain a morbid fascination.

I love to know what I missed and can't respond to without making a new thread, ripe for deletion by the omnipresent and omnigroovy mods! :D

16. yep...
sometimes there is no clear reason for the locking of the thread; those are the hardest to understand. Sometimes its just flame city and you wonder why it wasn't locked sooner.

17. In fact, I like them so much that
If Skinner offered a search feature for locked threads only, I would donate extra to get it. (I know, I have no star, my half and I are currently quite strapped and must share one star between us, sad ain't it)
