I like McLovin too. If it is the same guy, it's a BIG improvement on name.

I think regular PPOT is quite civil. Now that most of the major trolls are gone, and the baiters hang out in OT PPOT.

To PP's credit, I don't think there is the juvenile cursing in either reg PPOT or OT PPOT that you see in some other Internet forums.

The debate began as if in fact a fruit fly had the ability to 'like' of not. 'Like' defined as preferred was obvious. Fruit Flies do like bananas as well as other fruits - hence the name. RedUFO was of the opinion that 'like' required a higher brain function that a Fruit Fly was incapable due to its limited neural structure.

A classic philosophical dilemma that wasted much time and ended in no definitive conclusion other than the fact that much time was wasted and nothing was accomplished.

Not unlike most threads on the PPOT...
Pretty funny - thnx for filling me in. RedUFO was hated for THAT sort of thing? Geez, I was thinking he must've been a raving mad ******* or something.

Doesn't seem to be making any more friends this time around.

I noticed the similarities a while back. Been sitting on it for weeks, figured I'd see if anyone else caught it. Nobody did.

So now I'm reading the BMW M5/CPO thread and he's stinking it up something awful, so figured I'd try a diversion.

Seems like a lot of hair-trigger posters on here lately, that would do well to just STFU once in a while. Post quality, not quantity...

Innernetz, the death of humility.

Was halfway through typing a much longer rant about some of the more oppressive posters on this board, but it just isn't worth it. Quality posters here are drying up like the Sahara. I even miss Soup. Gawd I never thought I'd miss that dirtbag (he knows what I'm talking about).

Carry on.

Sorry for this, couldn't help myself. It just says it all:

Not unlike most philosophy courses.

they are good for prying open the minds of undergraduates, however
