Occasionally I do enjoy the flame wars that start up....but I tend get bored and tired quickly of some of the belligerent arguing that goes on here. I usually start out reading those threads and give up on them by the 2nd page or so.

Nostatic,

Thank you for the work you do here. Being a moderator can be a thankless job to say the least.

Thank you.

I do the same...and I'm usually doing some of the belligerent arguing!

Ditto.

Being a moderator is like being a politician. Regardless what you do, you'll piss off half the people!

Whatever you say.
You're the boss of us Nostatic.

Just one question;

Is calling someone who is a mule a jacka** OK ?
How about vice versa ?
Is there a difference ?

I think it's good and right Nostatic reminded us to keep it on the civil side. There are those that have good things to contribute that are so put off by the idiotic and insulting commentary that they leave the field. It is nice to have a mix, but just like party mix having too many peanuts, this forum likewise needs to remember too much mean, low and disrespectful talk will ruin it for all.

I'd say Janus did a good job of that, so yes, castrated.

To be castarated you first have to have a set of balls.

Anyone (Janus) that would threaten law suits over internet bickering while having a flippant coment about the person (mule) in their signature line has a bleeding gash between their legs.

For all of the "pwned" crap you clowns posted it sure looks like you got your feelings hurt a helluva lot more than mule did.

Really, what you think counts for *****. If you think your silverback is happy with his exchanges with me, ask him! He's the one snivelling like a beech!

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.

Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.

Don't you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.

Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer,
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year.

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

I'd rather be at home with ray
I ain't got seventy days
Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway

I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

The man said 'why do you think you here'
I said 'I got no idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
so I always keep a bottle near'
He said 'I just think your depressed,
this me, yeah baby, and the rest'

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend

It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

Day after day, alone on a hill,
the man with a foolish grin is standing perfectly still.
But nobody wants to know him,they can see that he's just a fool and he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round.

Well on the way, head in a cloud, the man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him or the sound he appears to make
and he never seems to notice
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning round

The thread about not bickering has descended into bickering. Oh the irony........

Nostatic, I agree with you 100% and I like your stance on baring women from the forum too.
