My ethics is based on avoiding being put in a stockade and having rotten fruit thrown at me.

But do the various religions know that.... and do the nonreligious know that it's never been seen codified anywhere (not even Sumeria of old) that religion has no possibility of having had a part in it?

Sure, the religion of Sumer is dead... as is in Egypt... as are all of the Gods in and of China.... but that doesn't mean that there was no religion, that the people of various ancient cultures did not worship. Worship has always been found in ancient cultures that survived in a sufficient enough form that we are aware of the golden rule's relative existence in such.

Does anybody know that the Golden Rule is made of Pyrite and rusts?

That's a very free approach and all... but just cuz the law don't have codifyin don't mean you ain't gonna die if you didly someone's girl.

Well, actually... the thread's been raised already, and there are on-topic and relevant discussions to be had. Sure, a new thread *could* be started, but as nobody has specifically responded to the shadows of the past that cannot speak: it should be just fine. 

My 2c. If mods disagree, then locking the thread is at their discretion. The real reason that threads are being necroed may well be a decline in overall forum activity (I wouldn't know if it's just a perception thing or if it's real... but then, I'm not close to anybody who could tell me)... at which point I'd say 'what harm is it doing, and is there any benefit to closing the thread'. I'd say it's a mistake to close this, as there's an interesting topic on hand regarding ethical basis, but I'm not invested enough to be upset.

The real crux of the rules of this place had been for the first three years of a half decade 'apply the intent of the law when they're doing enough damage to warrant it, and fuck the letter of her'. I understand that things might be different now. But I still do look back fondly at the golden age.  A place where the rule of law was disparate, but respected as 'just another member debating who loves this place enough to take on extra time to can the spammers'. That bloody april fools I missed spoiled so much  Sad

It's a real PR problem when the ruling class frightens the laborers... it's terrible for overall forum health, really. Might speak to why it feels slower... or maybe that's because A+ and Islamic Terrorism managed to disgust a bunch of people back into being Traditionalist Christians to compete on a cultural level. It's probably a lot of factors, though. 

As I said, if it's such a problem to have this thread open, it'll be locked... but the real question at that point is: what is the value of archiving a thread if it cannot be reused? Why not just delete it if you're going to lock it? This place isn't supposedly a content aggregate... so why is it storing so much content?

What the fuck are you on about, Violet? Are you sure the forum has changed that much? From where I stand, if one thing has changed drastically, it's you.
