Xman, I respectfully disagree with your call. If the claim was a joke, then it WAS BS. That was the reason why I made the file to begin with.

im not going to give someone a bs point for making a joke.

It was a joke that mocked a serious subject. That was actually why I went after a legit study to other way (and found one) to counter it. So I don't think it was "just a joke".

You created that entry, TL, and that should have been your answer! Not creating a file in here!

X made the right decision and great timing, Mark!

If I was going to do an answer in the same terms that would be different, Striker! But it wasn't in the same terms - that's the point.

Here's another point, Xman. The BS File is not supposed to be dead serious, right? With this decision you are treating it as serious and outside the spirit of the file. IMO.

Not dead serious no. But I dont want to discourage people from making jokes since thats part of a healthy FC. The BS file is more about making people accountable for their comments, and that doesnt really include opinions or jokes.

Opinions, no. I agree. If we went with BS files for opinions we'd have over 100 by now.

Jokes - it depends on the target. Some would be no, but others (like this one) should be included. The target here was injuries in sport - not something that should be joked about.

Think its time to lock it XMan TLPG needs to let it go.

Shut up, Mark, this is between me and Xman.
