Just too appropriate to not post here.

and are usually supposed to be for the purpose of sharing views.  This particular one seems to have the corollary purpose of keeping predictable shit-slinging more or less confined or away from other issues.

It seems to me that when people share views, a ceetain amount of short time and tempers and "yo' mama" is predictable (and tolerable, if you're not a complete misfit).   Eg, what is/is not relevant is open to debate, and that's what happens in forums.

Last I checked, the worst damage anybody ever suffered here was some hurt feelings, which IMHO is more a personal problem (ie within ones mind and control) than anything else.

So all in all, somebody coming on and citing some rules because that's THEIR view, is sorta like anybody else telling people THEIR view.   Funny how it might work to their benefit, or shut up potential disagreement - or even kill a forum.   Forums don't exist without posters, and aren't useful unless they can maintain a certain critical mass.   Eg, everybody hates assholes, but they're the ones who draw the traffic, aren't they?

So the real rules here should be that everybody should kiss MY ass, not somebody else's; and when *I'M* offended, then ya'll should tremble.  How do ya like THAT?!

due to that massive chip on your shoulder.

Stop being an instigator.  My last response to you.

And I have always enjoyed trolling for foolish fish.

Ironically this board enjoys considerably more vigor than most ‘polite’ discussion boards do.

Happy news and fluff articles get a tiny percentage of time and space in the respective medias. The bulk is made up of death, disaster, corruption, and scandal.

"I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You dont really need to find out whats going on
You dont really want to know just how far its gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre stiff
Kick em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybodys pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When its said and done we havent told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!"
(Don Henley)

Not feeding the trolls = lurking.

Not posting a link to someone else's ideas is "your" reply or discussion idea.

as you think.

one more time, people can see what you post. maybe that was'nt included in your little video

""My last response to you.""

Sounds like something a chick would say....
