The Meadow: Exists currently as a thread in the Garbage Can where one can hurl insults and witticisms of all varieties at other posters without fear of being punished for vulgarity, rudeness or transgressions of one of the seven deadly sins (pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth for the forgetful). http://packerrats.com/showthread.php?23092-The-Meadow
Which reminds me, there should be seven deadly PackerRats sins thread.
But back to topic. Poster Woodbuck, who might get his own entry in the PackerRats encyclopedia covering several long pages, would express his frustration with posters who vexed him by indicating he desired a place to take whippersnapper posters and teach them some manners. There was a suggestion of violence, but it could also have been an invitation to sit down for a very long conversation (think Entmoot) and tea. Confusion reigned as the Meadow could have been anything between a gunless OK Corral and a parliament meeting in an amphitheater, though we dare say it always seemed slightly foreboding.
The Meadow seemed an important place or concept initially, where men could hash out their differences, but after initial confusion, the lack of details resulted in the Meadow, for PackerRats anyway, simply being another thread in the Garbage Can that is also ignored by most of the posters.
