Off Topic / Re: Foreskin Regeneration Petition

The thread goes to the top if people are adding something to the discussion. If it slips down the page it means less people are interested in the topic and it should not be brought back to the top for no valid reason.
To clarify don't do that again or I will lock it.
Actually, if the thread slips down the page, it could mean that less people noticed the thread. If less people notice the thread, then it must be reasonable to assume that less people will click on the thread. Members that do not click on a thread, cannot reply to that thread. The less people that click on the thread, the less replies there will be as there will be less people who can reply since the leading statement is true. Since you indicated that the thread can't be bumped for no valid reason, then it must follow that it can be bumped for a valid reason. The hypothetical theory that I stated is very possible and real thus it is rational to bring the thread back to the top. So the truth is, I can bring the thread back up because there is a valid reason. Your conclusion is also special pleading since it excludes all alternative contingencies. This is what's going on here. X, Y, and Z are all true. But you claim that X is the only thing that can be true while Y and Z are indisputably false. Furthermore, the frequency of replies does not suggest popularity. What about view counts? There may be little replies to this thread. There may be a profusion of members who are interested in this thread. These two statements can be true at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive. Your decision to move the thread was justified. I'll give you that. But I don't agree that people are not interested in this thread. Unfortunately, I cannot support verdicts that are unjustified. I realize that it's been a while since I've visited this thread, but today, foreskin regeneration is something that a lot of men are vocal about. I want those who didn't got a chance to see the petition to see it. The link in the OP is dead. Here's a new link to the petition in case anybody wants to read or sign it:
