Yoo hooo - Mr. Moderator....I see you....you are on my "buddie list";) ...yooo hooo....Mr. Moderator I know you've read this thread too....yoo hooo...

I wouldn't want those commends banned unless the liberal referenced was someone specific. I also wouldn't want to see comments like, "GWB is a moron" or "John Kerry is Hanoi John" banned either. I only have a problem with the personal inter-poster insults.

See what you think of what I already posted here. It seems to me it won't be fruitful to make a poll including too many specific rules, at least at this point. Feel free to add whatever you wish to my post, or make your own.

Awhile back Moonbeam and I use to sit by the TV and watch 'The MOD Squad' - two guys and a girl who always seemed to get the bad guy..... nothing has changed... but, the actors..
But, then Ma made Moonbeam do the dishes and so he missed out on the action.. Linc was kool but the point is 'Good guys always win on TV'.

"Stunt.......honestly please shut up. You started the pissing match in this thread and you can end it. Be a man, SHUT UP and take it elsewhere. There is no need for you to hijack this thread about the civility of the forums and turn it into your own person version of the Jerry Springer Show."

You shut up...if you saw any of my posts youd see that i was not interested in draging the arguement out, i said it was pointless and yet people criticized more. You want me to go dig into archives and see what could be wrong with what you posted?...it not something i wanted to create my own "jerry springer show". I said it was a stupid pointless arguement...and i admit that put to peg it on me shows your ignorance, as it takes two to have a pissing war...i did not hijack the thread as i did not bring up the past facts, it was the other forum members posting the old information and i responded to their posts...

I canpost what i want and if i get criticized i will defend myseld, if you dont like it, don't criticize...lesson to all u nit pickers...get a life.

Take a couple of weeks off

Oh yes, of course I remember you! :)
They, the ducks, come a quacking in search of recognition all by themselves.:)

I post as usual but, I try to simply engage in one of the many threads on a subject that seems to provide the most interest for me.. :D With so many intellectuals posting, finding one that exists on my meek level is a challenge in itself..
But, thanks for the kind words..

Edit... forgot about the vote...

Probably Kerry but, not Bush.

Things being what they are I've stitched over to the Chimp test now. Ducks were OK back when things wer ducky. Now Bush Baby has us swirling round the toilet bowl and about to go under for the third time.

There is quite a difference between Duck poop and Chimp poop... I suppose it is due to what it is that gets consumed.

Instead of "If it quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, and looks like a duck... it must be a duck" it has become "If it smells like chimp, thinks like a chimp, and behaves like a chimp... it must be a ..." :D

Hehe so many ducks and chimps what is the world coming to?

Yeah "probably Kerry" is a popular choice of color in this year's swim suit contest. To my eyes at least the popular models look pretty much the same in their bikini tops and bottoms but the swim suit chosen by one of them shrinks a lot when wet and thus it must be avoided because *nobody* deserves a gaze at that much hair. That is unless they design the flaw out of that model in the next few months. :)

Politics and Religion...just don't post about them because people throw sense out the window and it always, ALWAYS turns into a pissing match. Simple as that.

Shinerbrooke. Yes it is a shame. I think a lot of pissing matches tend to develop when people make posts like this:

Does your quote really depend on the context? I was making arguments and instead of rebuting me you claimed "spin" in a childish display. And anyone who follows the link will see you enter with a condescending eye roll. That is not exaclty a serious way to discuss.

One must make a decision to engage in the contest, therefore it is avoidable. There is precedent on this forum that the decision to avoid the contest is much more effective than engaging in the contest.
:)

Perhaps the lure of the contest is what makes it unavoidable. ;)

Corn you coward, answer my PM. When are you coming to Boston so I can beat your ass! Come on, you can't be scared of a 50 year old wannabe Biker now can you? Hey I've been taking my vitamins and hitting the AARP Gym just to prepare myself. I've even lubed my walker so I will be quick on my feet! I'll even put on a fresh pair of Depends so I won't gross you out!
