Drywall 9' walls

And the others I added correct, relevant and expanding content to, for those asking themselves a similar question that happen upon the threads. You trolling me like I'm doing something illegal or detrimental IN THE SLIGHTEST is the ignorance I can't comprehend.

You clearly don't want discussion and you clearly don't have anything to add to the answers and you clearly think everyone else died and should be memorialized with the thread being retired and removed from the internet.

Do you want your legacy of contribution to be a bunch of incomplete answers? Do you want threads to die and to make it illegal if someone new comes along to expound upon the answers or to ask additional questions (where the original Asker dropped the ball)? Do you just hate interactive websites and absolutely won't ever respond to anything positively nor cordially, if it's on an old thread? Please get back to me when you make up your mind about what you're doing here or how the site can be better...you aren't helping currently.

Some folks just like to put-others-down - I guess it makes them feel superior or something - don't waste your breath on them. As for myself - I appreciated your discussion - and the other constructive intelligent replies - thanks for resurrecting the old thread. ... except that - I'm so torn and conflicted by the great arguements for both sides that I'll probably hang my drywall oblique from here-on-in.

As a retired/disabled emergency services person I have very serious doubts about the fire protection aspect of any taping method of drywall. I purport that there are numerous entry points other than drywall joints. The BEST protection is to have a working smoke and carbon monoxide detector.

I haven't read your quoted article and don't intend to because I am not signing up for HomemoanerHubless. If you wish to post it on a readily available site let me know and I will read it as I will your information from the NFPA site.

The link's right there and free for anyone to enjoy, just scroll to the bottom. Yes, please do give me any links you think are more useful, much appreciated. Smoke detectors are great, but not much help when the fire's spreading every second and not being contained as designed and intended.

You conveniently avoided the reasons why I won't read your posting and ignore my logic. You have one more chance...

replying to Tekkie®, Iggy wrote: Sincerely sorry, I thought I had addressed your complaint directly...hopefully I got it right this time. It's just my explained list, it's not an "article". The link is:

Again, that's

FYI, the perfection of Vertical is that it doesn't AT ALL need nor rely on tape and mud to achieve its full fire protection potential, tape and mud is ONLY for beautification. Horizontal on the other hand, MUST be taped and mudded to achieve JUST initial fire protection. Horizontal destroys the first line of defense and is much worse than unsealed-to-the-drywall or poorly fit electrical boxes.
