Why are the PARFaits wandering?

[pavulon]

Has it finally gotten that crappy over there? Even a used helmet thread gets infected? WTH? Ban island must have washed away.











-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Admin note from Eric at Pelican Parts:

Okay guys and gals... I'm really starting to get tired of this. I've seen some stuff and others are PM'ing me about PARF posts in PPOT. It just keeps increasing these past few weeks and it really shouldn't. Because of this, I'm going to start handing out bans.

Please keep PPOT seperate from PARF.

PM me if you see something that shouldn't be here.

I hope what I see here (and there) is not a microcosm of America. If it is, you should all be worried.

I started a thread that seems to have devolved into that sort of irrational stupidity so I bowed out. My bad. Sometimes I miss our moderators....

I read the helmet thread and didn't see anything political or religious. What are you talking about?

[pavulon]

it only takes one "Beetlejuice" equivalent anymore.

If it is not...I am worried. It could be more like many (including neighboring) countries...where speech is not free and people cannot allow anyone to disagree about contentious issues.

[tevake]

Here in Pelican world folks are allowed to disagree about whatever they want to, and go on for pages and pages of disagreement.

We even have a special place for that.

It's not PPOT.

How are you supposed to win the internet if you restrict yourself to just one page?

[tevake]

Hahaha, Yep Cabmando, you got me there.

Cheers Richard

It's not the issues that bother them, it's the contentiousness.

They want an never-ending kumbya moment here. Like a woman who asks, do these pants make my ass look big? If you provide truth they take it as a personal attack.

BTW, I think OT is looking great.

Whining about PARF makes you all look strong.

I like PARF just the way it is

PPOT not so much lately

I keep thinkin' I got TiDdieS on my mind....an obsession I tell ya!

[Evans, Marv]

I've only posted a couple of times on PARF, because I don't see contributing to discussions that devolve into the crap you see there. Generally I don't post anything if I don't have something fairly neutral and informative to contribute. I think my post count for nineteen years reflects that. Also I think if others would just ignore and quit/not post in discussions that go south, they would atrophy and die in a timely way.

Man-made global warming caused the hockey stick to whack an iceberg that ran over the island and sank it.

Politics And Religion Forum.

I suppose helmets are a religious topic? Or is it political?

[island911]

One would think that the division of topic would be the focus of such a thread. And yet, here we are, with the OP and KC trying to divide the people here. ..into camps of OT & PARF posters. --what a shtty thing to do.

Seriously. GTF over yourselves and your tribal division tactics. If it weren't for my bringing up the subject with Wayne years ago this place would still be called Off Topic Rants.

[KFC911]

LOL...I'm going out into the HOT, HUMID afternoon....you are all a hoot

Sure...we'll all pretend that the inflammatory image and political reference never happened and/or deny that posts were intended as such.

Denial is the primary strategy of all dysfunction and the keystone of nearly every PARFeteer's "debate."

This place is being ruined by a few douche bags that have been left to run wild.
