If someone can give me a good explanation as to why it's so inexcusably offensive I'll gladly listen, but as things stand now I don't get it.
It's not inexcusably offensive; it's not against the rules. It's just annoying and that's why we have guidelines against it. Sometimes it's annoying because you try to reply to someone who no longer hangs out here or the subject of the thread is no longer a current event. Sometimes it'll take two pages before the people replying to the thread realize it's old. That's why there's a big red banner at the bottom of the page warning that the thread is old.
It doesn't matter when the subject of the thread is something like "AF Members As Cat Memes" or "What's Everyone Up To?" but when the subject is "George Bush Jr. Claims There Are WMDs In Afghanistan" it's ridiculous.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
