AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the locking of a thread that participants believe should have remained open. Many argue that the thread did not meet the criteria for the political forum and should have stayed in general discussion. Concerns were raised about the motivations behind moving the thread, suggesting it was done to facilitate its locking. The title of the thread, "Poor middle me," is viewed as more personal than political, further supporting the argument for its original placement. Overall, there is a consensus that the decision to lock the thread was unjustified.

This thread should not have been locked. https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=516391"

Show me the reason for this
I didn't think this met the criteria for posting in the political forum.

Agreed!

Thread does not meet PF quality guidelines and is therefore locked.

It was in the GD forum before being moved in order to to get it locked. Sounds like a personal vendetta to me. Hell the title alone, "Poor middle me" is a personal situation and not a Political challenge as far as I can tell.

This has been discussed among the mentors and it has been agreed that this thread does not meet our criteria for a number of reasons.
 


Thanks for looking at it. Mentors know best. :)
 


It's always good to ask about things, you never know if something has been discussed, not to mention feedback is good, well, sometimes. :wink:

I have to agree with dlgoff. Why was the thread moved from general discussion in the first place?

It was moved because it was about politics, but it really belongs in a personal blog.
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
