This is such an over dramatization. There is little, if anything at all, in the General NBA thread that would elicit any discussion at all in its own thread. It is almost all random thoughts that would otherwise have nowhere to go.

We can discuss whether the thread I merged deserved to stand on its own. That's enough of a gray area that I'm certainly willing to let similar threads stand if that's the consensus. But on the whole I think the General threads have their place and have been very useful. And I think most of the regular posters would agree with that.

And for the record, let it be noted that I mocked the General Mavs thread for 2009. THAT is going overboard. I'm with you on that. But the general offseason thread? It was great.
