Hello.
Over the past hour or so, there have been individuals who have hit abuse dozens upon dozens of times, sometimes for the very same thing they had previously hit abuse on.
Please do not do this. It is highly annoying.
I am aware that there are about 10 threads on Arafat dying. I made the decision that I was not going to pull all of them. I did not want to lose the first few comments made on them, and besides, the explosion of threads on FR when something big happens is somewhat of a tradition. I'll be pulling new threads, at least the new ones that do not have actual real articles associated, but the ones that were up will remain up.
If you don't agree with this policy, I am sorry and I did hear your complaints. If Jim wants the approach taken changed, he'll let us know. But one person hitting abuse 5 or 6 times on the same thread saying "duplicate, please pull" is just being a pest.
Also, about the CBS/not-dead thread. If CBS is reporting that, it is news regardless of if CBS has the story right or wrong. If they have it right, then it is news about Arafat. If they have it wrong, then it is news about CBS. Either way, I am not taking that thread down. Besides, it was a missed opportunity when the abuse report came in "He's dead." The correct abuse report should have been, "He's dead, Jim."
Thanks, AM
AM, Thank you for your (thankless) work.
Already posted...
In 3.5 years of posting, never hit abuse on anyone--though I have felt like crawling through the monitor and choking a few people :P
He's dead Jim...
He must have worn the wrong color uniform that day.
Nobody ever dies on Star Trek if they have the right uniform on. Must be a 'special' kind of Kevlar.
All well and good in a perfect world. . .

At least your still in good spirits.
