OK guys. Have a good evening, let's all be nice to one another and lighten up if we can. When I originally came to this thread, I was feeling laid back, cruisin' around, poking some fun at the admin. similar to the slings and arrows my man Clinton used to get. This was rather funny, afterall.
Presidents are people. People screw up and do foolish and, sometimes, funny things. We laugh and we make jokes. hehe
Crash! A profanity laiden , self centered, self appeasing, whining, bitching, I HATE THIS SHIT, post comes crashing in. It looks like the 'No' word has been auto-clipped out from it. It's like a poison dart coming out of nowhere, referencing nothing and w/o referring to anything specific in the thread. People see it but step over it, and go to posting stories about their own bicycle mishaps- "Hey, what the heck, this could happen to anybody- look what happenned to me. No biggie. ." I post, w/ the basic message of, "Hey! Let's get it together and see where our minds might meet!
Crash!
Poison dart #2. It wasn't the topic, it wasn't the point of view, it wasn't the language. What it was, was it's timing. The way it had been shoved into the thread, w/o referencing or responding to any thing current in the thread, and furthermore, was substantially out of context within the thread.
I know instigation and troublemaking when I see it and that is exactly what DSL has done, twice in this thread, and no one is going to pull too much of this crap on my watch. I haven't checked, but I trust that he has had a good history here, and that this has only been an aberration.
If there's a pattern of instigation for instigation's sake going on here, particularly in the Hot Topic Discussions, it doesn't matter if the member is Billy Graham, Gandhi, or Joan of Arc. The member might not be invited back into the BreakRoom, for awhile. Again, regarding this thread, the timing combined w/ the style of DSL's posts in this thread are what is sending up flags- Not the content or views! Maybe it's nothing. Sorry to take up your time w/ this, but I have gotten a sense from being in this thread, that there is something's not quite right going on. However no more of this, and please open up a thread in- Personal Message to Staff- if you wish to ask any questions regarding this particular subject.
