1. Every thread that turns into a Gibbs debate does not get locked

2. Yes, this is being discussed in the other thread, but that's fine we can discuss it here

3. I said I thought the link was funny, and it is but I made the judgement that inevitably it would become just a duplicate thread.

4. More precise topics would be nice, but virtually impossible. To keep things precise we would have to lock many more threads, which would be "overmoderating"

5. This has nothing to do with "negative attitudes" The "Time for Joe to Step Down" thread is going strong. And there are negative thoughts all throughout the site

6. After discussing with a fellow moderator I will reluctantly reopen the thread. Under one condition-your responses can only be your own additions/new definitions to the Gibbs Dictionary. The instant it becomes another Love Gibbs vs. Hate Gibbs debate we lock it. We have enough of those threads going on. We want to keep the site clean and free from too much clutter.
