"Tell that to most people from Scandinavia."
To be fair the article did say BLEACH Blonds were the subject of study. It specifically said that in the first paragraph. Where as people from Scandinavia tend to be natural blonds.

Brownblond hair is the most common in scandinavia. The Blonde thing is a myth.

That’s beyond the point. The point is he locked the topic without even reading the article and considering the source. Sure at the time I forgot to put the source. But after I told him he just dismissed it as not being a scientific source. Well no duh, the entire site is for entertainment purposes. I just happened to get a chuckle from it and I just wanted to share. I would have though that having the WWN as a source would immediately let people know that it was a joke. Anybody who takes anything from the WWN seriously has some serious issues that they need to sort out.

Funny, here you did: news article? (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7477116&postcount=1) Do not assume I did not read it. I read the title of your thread. I read your link. I stated my reasons. Apparently, they have not made an impression on you.

Singling out a group and saying "All ___________ are ______________" is flamebait.

Kindly do not assume that simply because I do not agree with you that making fun of a segment of the world's population is amusing, there is a defect in my intelligence.

Because the article clearly stated that Bleach blonds were the target of the study and you were implying that I was flaming natural blonds kind of made me think that you didn’t bother to read it. The title of the thread I made was just the title of the article nothing more.

Alright I’m going to bed soon but answer me this. Exactly what part of the article is famebait? Is it the title? Because if it was just the title that part could have just been edited instead of locking the entire topic. It couldn’t have been any part of the article itself, again except for maybe the title. The article itself explains the effects of using hydrogen peroxide and how it can disrupt the mental functions of the brain. It doesn’t quite fit your parameters of “All __________ are __________.” Well it could be all the classic blond joke, but there have been entire threads dedicated to that without being locked in the past so I doubt that. Maybe my synapse, I talked about my friend so I doubt that would do it. I also just brought up the question of natural blonds. In which case I didn’t attack them in any way there. Which brings me back to the title. Really that’s the only questionable area that I can see. Which is really more befitting an edit than a lock in my opinion.

Enough. I explained my reasons.
In plain English, making fun of an entire group or characterizing an entire group in a defamatory way is not appropriate. I locked it without issuing a warning.

I would suggest that rather than continue to cast insults (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7477335&postcount=3) and continue the argument, you move on and post something else.
