, I share your frustrations but I think that "subtweeting" (sorry, I couldn't think of a more positive way of putting it) can be reconstructed into instead, "I think that grave bumping in the CLF is fine because it precludes duplication of threads and serves to organize similar thoughts. Etc etc etc and as such I find it offensive when people try to discourage others from resuscitating threads that were relevant then and are also relevant now"

Also, why do some people feel the need to backseat moderate and scream gravebump any time an old thread pop's up??

and I'm sure many other thread's as well because those posts are years apart
These two threads seem fine to bumb. The ones that are useless to bump are question threads because the OP of these is likely already gone and knows the answer. Because it has been months.
You're right, Vivy. I could have stated it better, but that isn't being true to who I am as a person and as a poster on these forums. People have come to expect a "nicer" post from you, if they haven't learned to expect worse from me after 20k posts then they'll learn soon enough!
I like to get straight to the point, I can't stand beating around the bush. That is just me.

Agreed, these type of threads unnecessarily spam the forums with an already answered question or the OP is long gone. I feel like there should be a clearer distinction in the rules between those types of threads and the one's linked in my post above
"Why are you posting threads, asking questions and making discussion???"

I agree with that completely and as such I 100% respect that
Thank you also for your response (and edit, haha!); they were cognizant and deliberate, and the sort of "genuine" mentality you describe I think is one the CLF should also possess.
There have been times where someone's pissed me off and I'll vent to a friend. Sometimes my friend will tell me, "This person is experiencing such-and-such hardship" and I respond that that's only an explanation, and not an excuse. I also have to remind them that my feelings are valid, and that someone else's situation shouldn't invalidate them nor require me to be extra nice and understanding where I don't feel like it.
Other times I'll post in a way that's very heated, for example on the Community Helpers Discussion thread atm lol. Sometimes I'll go back and edit things so they're more professional, other times I'll leave things as they are to stay true to the intensity that I was experiencing at the time
