Just curious

what percentage of threads get locked here? Seems like it is a fairly common occurrence.

1. No clue.

That should be an easy one for Skins to check out. I think he knows and doesn't want the rest of the primitives to realize it is as high as I suspect it is.

Mole pia is not going to last for very long if he doesn't start exercising a little bit of caution.

Skimmer knows that very question was debated here a little while back.

 :lmao:  If only he had a sense of humor!

I know his inbox was bursting at the seams by the time he got back from paternity leave, but his answers are short and curt, aren't they?  Unlike some of his very lengthy screeds that go on and on and on.  It's rather refreshing.   "NO.  Next question.  Go away."   :lmao:

Maybe Skins didn't give an answer, because the mole wasn't specific enough.  After all, you have the lowly normal non-paying primitives, but then you have the ones that fund Skin's vacation account.  There are two different sets of criterion used to decide on locking a thread- one set for those that donate, and another for those that don't.   

I've seen the word plutocracy thrown around often lately.  Would one of you primitives like to row over here and explain to us, in your own words, how the island is not a plutocracy?

That's why the questions asked in the new A.T.A. are hidden until there's a reply - so unpleasant ones can be quietly removed without attracting attention.

Oh, is that what they do?  I didn't know that, wow.  I guess we can laugh at their lack of transparency, their heavy-handed rule, but you do need rules, regs & an iron fist when dealing with a pack of lunatics.

To preserve his sanity, my fellow alum Skins has got to do this more and more, when dealing with the primitives.
