In reply to the discussion: Pope With the Humble Touch Is Firm in Reshaping the Vatican [View all]IdaBriggs
(10,559 posts)But I think the "8 posters" (and I'm not going to bother counting, so I trust your numbers) who are scolding at a thread with nearly a hundred replies and a thousand views are mistaken about whether it is interesting to the GD population, because it obviously *IS*, otherwise it would be dropping like a rock.
The original poster obeyed the rules put forth by the Admins (see the links in other posts). In my opinion, squawking about the fact you don't like someone obeying the rules *CLEARLY* spelled out by the Admins is rude and inappropriate.
If you want to discuss how Skinner runs this board, I suggest you take it up with him in "Ask the Admin." Now, if you want to join in the discussion and comment on the Pope pro or con, I personally support your participation 100%, and look forward to your insights. (I've read other stuff you wrote, Vashta, so I know you are capable and frequently interesting.)
What I don't support is criticizing the original poster because someone doesn't like how the Admins run the board. It just reeks of meta.
Use the trash or ignore feature if you need to; they are there for a reason. If the Pope pisses you off, one click and your day is better.
Mine is actually going well. Talk to you later!
