I think you two are not getting what a serious post consists of.
This ^
A "serious post" about an internet forum is not in the same category as a serious post about a death ffs. You need a better analogy, Callaway
"Serious" is subjective. That thread can't have been "serious" to Dunc? Or if it was serious, it doesn't matter because you have something "more serious" that happened to you? For every person, that which happens to them will always be more serious then that which happens to others.
Why all the fighting about the analogy? Why is it so important to you both? And why are you both so bent about the thread being repaired?
