The Meadow?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Same as it ever was. Very nice Zool.

[Cheesehead Craig]

All I know is that I am the Ruler of the Meadow (see, it's even in my signature) and you all are crapping all over my beautiful kingdom. This was a place where buxom women brought you beers in steins and meat was eaten off the bone. Now, it's just a bunch of whining. Begone foul miscreants!

Are you Scott Campbell?

It would take a wingnut to pull it off.......

THIS!!!

I think howard is on to something. just like Partial was really mazzin who was really Tank. SC is really Woody! its starting to make sense now.

I'm somewhat dubious that Skinbasket could exercise the control necessary to run Packerrats.

I laughed so hard I almost peed on my kid. Almost. The idea that's there's been any measure of control, much less a practiced "exercise" of control, here for the past 3 years is an idiot savant's drug induced fantasy. Madtown's either been banning, insulting, and threatening posters or going on a two year bender while the place grew mold, atrophied, and collapsed on itself. LOL. Exercise the control.

Scott campbell insults my entire family tree.

well, you have to admit, there are have been some curious twists and turns.




Here is the family tree whence I emerged:

[SkinBasket]

Let's do the fine tooth items first, then the broader point.

1. Its an insult designed to troll the target, as Finley has been a bone of contention between several posters and Brandon, with both sides making a personal issue of it.
2. Its the worst kind of rumor, uninteresting and recycled. As boring as the one about the local weatherman was recently in the hospital to have an emergency gerbil-ectomy. Or that the local college coach has a piece on the side. Or that Rod Stewart collapsed during a concert ... well, you get the idea.
3. Its an insinuation about murder.
4. Its not funny or enlightening. And its doesn't address the thread at all.

So basically you want to zero in on a rather innocuous post for the larger problem it represents and delete it. And that's going to solve the bigger problem between brandon and those who disagree with him?

I understand the notion that some people are leaving because other people are acting like asshats. But if someone's going to get upset because another poster claims a football player has a STD and might be banging women other than his wife, then maybe that person isn't really cut out for this whole internet forum thing.

I think you're overreacting about the insinuation of murder, especially given the bar that Tarlam set. Brandon isn't murdering anyone. Shit, the guy can't even get far enough out of the suburbs to find anyone his own color. So Snake making some quip that not even brandon understood about threatening rats didn't really strike me as dangerous, even on the very small chance snake was sober.

As far as the humor aspect, I think it's a bad idea to police what is and isn't funny. Madtown and retail already tried that and killed the RR. You're a great active, insightful poster, but I don't think that should mean you get to demand a humorless, entirely dispassionate discussion of football. Especially a discussion which you willingly choose to engage in with the assistance of a seemingly much ignored IGNORE feature.

Speaking of which, I remember the great outcry for the Ignore feature. It was going to save the forum, cure cancer, and bring the 99% and the 1% together. It's strange how much some posters are still bothered by other posters who they have the ability to completely delete from their own experience. You want the post deleted? Ignore the poster. Problem solved.

Pony up with the beer, meat and women, or STFU.

I shan't share the bounties of my kingdom with the likes of you. You scallywag!

Good day sir.

[Scott Campbell]

well here we all are in the garbage can thanks mostly to one poster (Woody).

will there be any repercussions for flaming out a thread?

There never is dude. I've been saying this crap about Wood for 4+ years. Everyone laughs him off like the crazy old uncle with his dick in the mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. Maybe this will finally get someone up in his grill about his shit talking and soap boxing.

Start boiling your oil, foul rapscallion. The battering rams are on their way!

Remind me not to go over to Zool's for thanksgiving. My crazy uncle keeps his clothes on.

[mraynrand]

Don't you have anything constructive to offer? Like a story about a naked uncle dipping his weasel into your potatoes?

The meadow is marriage therapy?? I preferred it when it was about funny lyrics.

Let's take it one step at a time...and by the way a little piped in music may help to reduce stress... 'set a mood'.
