Dissent (not descent) would work in theory, but it is the small percentage who ruin it for all those who rail against the liberal media's bias thus making name calling and back biting a necessity of all forum blather. How dare you even bring this up you pinko fascist? I'm going to go home right now and kick my dog and my neighbor's dog too.

No Shari - I'm not going to do anything but snuggle with my dear Lucy.

Well I used to expect more from the old coots here but now I realize they are doing the best they can. Tecate, Geritol and Depends makes this place more exciting. Although it is remarkably similar to El Dorado Ranch which is aptly named Gods Waiting Room!

Having that extra few hours of sleep each night would actually be quite nice! Especially since I've rolled back the caffeine intake the past few months. It's certainly doesn't hurt to show one's consideration of this prior to pressing the "post reply" or "post new topic" button.

I don't think the moderators/owners want only those who are agreeable.
The "moderators/owners" insist that people remain civil in their "discussions" - whether they agree or disagree with others. We haven't been targeting either type here thus far.

:biggrin:

Quote:
They are needed... friendly referees, if you will.

It's funny you say that, as that's the analogy I use to explain this to people that aren't necessarily familiar with online forums, that find out I'm involved with one and inquire about it.

Some may be happy to know (or - possibly find it humorous?) that I "sharpen" my education and skills on this year-round as a youth sports official (multiple sports) - and as a part of this, run a program for youth & teens with this to help them gain valuable leadership skills and experience.

Not that I'm perfect, mind you. Always with the best of intentions however. :saint:

Thank you everyone for your understanding, consideration - and participation.

:biggrin:

Osprey,

That is the most idiotic rant I have ever read. Your idea is so full of crap; even a good purgative would only partly do the job. After your ablutions we could still be overcome with the intolerable stench of your mess. This board would reek for months with a minor exposure to this fetid idea. Bile rises as one considers the inevitable detritus generated by the dustups you propose. We could all be annihilated by the sheer magnitude of effluence of the affluence of invective potentially unleashed by your putrid invitation to release our cumulative spleens on each other.

Other than that I totally agree.

Now that we have thanked the forum for helping us argue in a civil manner I am reminded that the moderators/software will not allow me to lambast The Fly Guy and others in appropriately stinging words. My gut wrenching feelings don't really come across because the software changes my cusswords to things like burrocrack, poop butt, poop head, pea bag, scambag, etc. If there's no way around them I think maybe we could privately agree to change those really good (bad) words to numbers. Like "you are such a 31" or the old ""Why don't you go 12 yourself".
