nah...I don't see the point in it. What happens if someone else dies? This is a wrestling forum and if people don't like it, or they can't be civil..they either need to leave or be banned.

Religion and politics are things that people go to war about... This isn't the same...
You can't take this away from people... Even if the mods were to block it out, this is wayyyyy too soon... I mean we've been getting details for what now? Maybe 48 hours?
I understand your reasoning, but sometimes people need to talk, they need to complain, they need to be complete jerks to truly understand how they're feeling about the whole situation... The theme is "confusion"... Let them talk, I mean, as long as it isn't against the forum rules then let it be...
EDIT: This is actually my last comment about this... I realized we're doing this in a completely wrong thread...

The theme is "confusion"... Let them talk, I mean, as long as it isn't against the forum rules then let it be... But people ARE violating forum rules. And they can't seem to govern themselves. They're letting emotions cloud judgment, opinions outweigh facts, and arguing the inarguable. Better to take a step back, let everyone get control over themselves, and when something new develops, post that. But going over the post-mortem over and over ... nobody's moving on and healing this way. They're picking the scab, and sometimes, picking each other's scabs. With rusty barbed wire. And the mods need to see the variety of opinions on this topic, since obviously more then one person shares the "the topic needs to be banished" opinion (and vice versa). They need to see it to weigh the evidence. Jed Shaffer ~If people wanna be complete jerks, they can wank off on their MySpace. Not here. The bickering isn't helping anyone.

Sorry guys, but I couldn't disagree more about putting Benoit on the same level as Politics and Religion. Political and Religious views are subjective therefore there are not many facts in them. Whereas, Benoit is a Murderer. That is apparantly a fact. As for people disagreeing on whether they can respect him or not, there is already a rule about this. It's called respect and you will respect your fellow posters or be banned.

I just don't think people are respecting that basic rule, and with emotions running rampant and overriding judgment, they can't (or won't) respect it. It's nothing but land mines and fragile egos in there. But ... your forum. Your call. I won't bring it up again. Jed Shaffer ~I tried, guys.

It's called respect and you will respect your fellow posters or be banned. Excellent call. We're all dealing with the same issue in different ways and locking all the topics isn't giving a fair shake to those who haven't weighed in on the situation yet. Not to mention, it is asinine to treat a group of adults like they are children when it is only a handful of people acting immature about it. Politics and religion belong on a politics and religion forum. This is a wrestling forum and this is the biggest story to come out of professional wrestling, in, well.. ever. It is not just going to "go away" if topics are locked at the behest of those who are "tired of discussing it over and over again." Ignore it.

P.S. let me know if any of the other archives are not working right. When I was moving them around, I switched them to staff-only, and didn't switch that one back

The Benoit/Wife thread on Off Topic should be removed imo
