Alex Moes,
Important question to answer.
I would say that it depends on how deeply you are looking at it. I doubt that this is the only thread that will ever happen about fictional profiles that are linked to the Global Tree. Do you honestly believe that if this were a new thread than anything would be much different? I mean you *honestly* are willing to say that people would respond differently if i go and start a completely new thread right now... ???
I disagree that this would have made a difference, and i get angry when people respond to my threads in a different thread. To me it seems quite rude. Thus i follow the golden rule: Treat others the way you would like to be treated. I don't want people to split the thread, thus i don't do that.
On the other hand i wouldn't spend time talking about splitting the thread on the split thread; i might consider sending a person a private message asking to delete the new thread and respond on my original one. The reason for that is quite simple, at the end of the day whether a person prefers to "never resurect an old thread" or to "never split the thread" it is quite silly to begin talking about philosophy of the golden rule in the thread about mythical figures. (Yes, i'm being sarcastic, but in order to make a point).
Therefore i would like to thank you for a question, which has allowed me to write this response, but this is one question is something that may have been asked in the new thread. Will you chose to delete your post and repost it as a separate message, i'll move my response there as well.
