Andrew, you've lost the bet! I take payment in cash, gold, or your still-beating heart, whatever's convenient.
Did you really believe, even for a minute, that this thread would not prove the need to lock, moderate, and edit threads and thread content?
Even if some few posters did deliberately attempt to derail and toxify the thread, haven't the several dozen other locked, moderated and edited threads, which followed the same course as this one, shown the sea change since the 'good ole days' (and like most good old days, they weren't good for the reasons you think they were good, and they weren't as good as you think they were at all)?
Anarchy in action; it's why even the most civilized people need policing, rules, laws, consequences.
Better luck next time!
