Onslow.... You missed the shit-storm. This is the after-party. Everyone else, please continue the thread hijacking.
No, I did not. The simple fact of the matter is, I chose now to respond because a number of things had been going on in my mind.
A)the attacking of moderators--apparently they are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't. No matter how they respond there are persons here who will not like them or what they do. Read through the posts and see the comments abounding, including the ones that make clear that many of the posts here have become idiot crapola with no purpose except to build counts and post drivel. Back and forth one or two sentence banter would be better served in a chat rooom or with an I.M. device or maybe the two clowns could invest wisely in a telephone of some sort--or just get a room.
B) I was responding directly at the time of my post to windtalker and the simple fact that what they had done may well have knocked an offensive post off the front page; however it also (and this is the main point here) knocked off several valid and important posts with inane drool. If I wish to see the posts which were knocked off, I now go to the same page which contains the offending post and in that manner I can bring the offending topic back into play if I so choose. (If that topic has been closed then I can begin a new topic title with the same theme. In other words the behavior of Windtalker was in it's own way offensive. Sadly I do not use an avatar so I cannot threaten to remove it--perhaps I should threaten to put up a photo of myself, of course then except for a handful of folks here the membership would drop from sudden death since my stunning good looks have been known to kill. The method used by Windtalker, if I were to follow a similar pattern would mean that Alex would never again have his avatar appearing. Think about it.
C)If others can post whatever they danged well please and say it's okay, well then so can I--and I may well decide to do so. SO keep in mind, you and others may arrive here one day and find I have posted 8 dozen random thoughts all as nopics (nothing-topics=nopics).
