in the thread I started tonight (OT: New songs for the MMB) -when I open the thread in my browswer (Chrome) I cannot see any of the replies the post has generated.  I have tried rebooting my PC and clearing my browser history and cache of all stuff like cookies, and still it doesnt work.  It does let me see the replies in the Droid app on my phone, but not in Chrome.  I'm not sure why that happened or if there is anything you can do.  

It might've occurred because I edited my initial comment on the post (I had panicked that the embed failed when it didnt, and then edited my comment on the post after realizing the embed had actually worked).  

If this is something you guys can fix, awesome.  Otherwise, I'll just have to deal with it, having broken the thread for my viewing somehow.

I hope you got your answer while the thread was up.  For future reference, in performing your site search, use "where to watch" instead of "Toledo."  That might have been what went wrong.

Ruling: let it stand.

We ban people here for trolling and flaming so that the boards don't become conspiracy theorists and firebrand politicos calling each other Hitler, but not for simple bad taste. When deciding between the two I look for 1) intent, and 2) effect, set against our goal of allowing the broadest possible free speech. For intent, the user here wasn't trying to get people to start screaming at him about WTC humor, but making a suggestion about a well-known internet meme. For effect, it got a few downvotes and ticked one guy off enough to reply there and post it here. Eh.

Jokes that make fun of 9-11 victims etc. are in bad taste but WTC guy wasn't actually killed--he's a dude who photoshopped himself to look like a tourist standing on the roof when the plane was about to hit. The joke is about inappropriateness, and it's a well-hooved internet meme, albeit one I don't find particularly funny.

I don't like his post either, however not liking something is not enough reason to ban somebody.

MSU women's basketball getting 2 secondary violations three days ago isn't big stuff. Cardale Jones was on the blog last week though I think we failed to front-page it.

I think you should have left it up. I know it's not OT season and all, but I never would have known this was happening if the OP hadn't posted it. Maybe that's on me for being out of touch, but I'm assuming there are others out there who would want to know about this (and would be interested in finding out when the re-launch will be).

Actually, I probably would have left it because, like you, I found it interesting.  But I pulled it once I found out the attempt was postponed.  If its up to me, I'll leave the thread up when the next try occurs in the future.  But, technically, I think this is unlawful OT according to the MGoStrictures.

As interesting as it is, this is too OT.  Unfortunately, it being in the M Daily is just not enough to keep it on the Board.  Plus, the potential for the slippery NSFMrs.Kass slope and whatnot.

(For future reference, if you are considering employing the "way" OT description, its probably not Board-worthy during the season.)

Just because someone else acts like an idiot doesn't mean you need to create a Facebook page about it.

They need 100 points to start a new topic/thread.

Looks like a good cause worthy of a 99 point boost.
