Just a heads up to please notice that title's of some threads are being changed within the threads themselves.  I don't know if this is allowed or not, but it seems to me that whatever thread anyone else replies in, that no one but the original poster of that thread should be allowed to change their title - even within responses within the threads.  In certain cases, mainly religious threads, they are being changed to the opposite of what the original poster intended, to the twisted context of what someone is trying to use to their advantage. I wouldn't like my topic title changed, and really don't think others would either, which is only being done facetiously.  Thank you very much.

The original thread titles remain unless a respondant quotes replies where comments are inserted into thread titles.  Thread titles are part of a post and are not 'sacrosanct'.

They're thread titles, not something that permits nonsense in a title to go unopposed.  Your 'complaint' is yet another facetious and frivolous attempt to censor/restrict/contrain/suppress opposing viewpoints.  It's a good thing FC isn't a xtian fundamentalist site.

The forum permits you to indicate a different subject when replying to a topic.
This does not change the TOPIC TITLE, it is only the title for that particular reply.
Most people don't bother changing it, but it's one way to indicate that you are going off-topic or changing topics.

This is a quite standard forum feature and not likely to change.  Sorry!

Thank you for the clarification, Kohler.

I agree jcribb16... I don't know why people are being so judgmental.  Life is short--take a chill pill and enjoy it.

Thank you very much for answering me with this.  It does change more than that particular reply, because when I have quoted his responses, unless I caught what he did, then even my reply would post with that new title.  That is bothersome, and though it's allowed, I feel he is doing it just to goad.  However, I feel better knowing that you read my post, considered it, answered it, and let me at least vent my frustration for myself and others being deliberately provoked - so thank you for letting me vent.

Kohler, (an FC moderator), disagrees with the spurious 'complaint' you're agreeing with and went on to explain why.

I agree jcribb16... I don't know why people are being so judgmental.  Life is short--take a chill pill and enjoy it.

That's on you, (to notice or not when a thread title is changed to reflect the context of a reply, particularly when there is subject-drift - something which occurs on a regular basis).

That is bothersome, and though it's allowed, I feel he is doing it just to goad.   

Your misinterpretation, (e.g., "just to goad"), is false because it attempts to discern the intent of anotehr without rational evidentiary basis.  Since I'm the one being referred to in this instance, I get to state what my actual intent was, (since it's my intent and not another's).  That intent was to change a thread title to reflect the context of a reply, particularly when there is subject-drift.

You changing the thread titles when you quote someone is just one more attempt at misconstruing what is being said in order to enforce your own self righteous biased and prejudiced opinions.

Just stop it and let it go.  I am.

That's your choice.  Mine would be to note yet another instance of your attempting to induce FC staff to censor in the manner you insist upon.  As I'd previously stated, this was being left up to FC moderators and Kohler clearly explained that what you were spuriously-complaining about did not violate FC posting policies.

This is what happens when you 'knee-jerk' react and don't scroll down-thread:

The forum permits you to indicate a different subject when replying to a topic.

Exactly the point I was venting to Kohler.  I never even realized you could change the title within the threads until one day, I saw a title changed in a response, and it was switched around to the opposite of course.  I would never think of changing an original poster's title to their thread they started.  When I've responded, whether I like the title or not, it's still responding in a thread someone else started, so I take the title, like it or not.  At least, through this, I now know I can go back in and re-change it back to the original poster's title.

I was quite aware of all the postings in this thread when I posted. Doesn't change the fact that you misconstrue things.

I'm not trying to censure anyone.  You are one who is constantly coming up with something that challenges the boundary lines in here, just so you can gloat and continue your provocation - you are that obvious - no need to keep denying it.
