Rule clarification

[Art Vandelay]

Son, we live on a board that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by mods with powers. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Finderson? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lingo and curse the Executive Committee; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Lingo's cyberdeath, while tragic, probably saved lives and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use them as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and posts under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a keyboard and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

We now know PAC has the balls authority to call a Code Red, the only question is when and towards whom will he issue it.

I did state that the membership could be asked to come up with ideas so ...

But I'm not in favor of a separate forum. As per my goals I was chatting with MRD death this evening and he compared me to Lucifer in a Isaiah kind of a way So maybe I best not share them!

Lightborn!!! You are bringing light to the Cuffers!

[Mormon Red Death]

Who is MRD. I want to avoid him or her.

I AM YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!!!

How could I have not known? I ask your forgiveness.

That is known as the Bobbitt nightmare, isn't it.

There's no taking it back -- you compared me to Lucifer in the Isaiah scriptures. I'm taking that to the grave buddy.

Problem with DDD's idea of a separate Foyer forum is that you can't control who posts there. The same types of conversations would take place there as in the existing Foyer.

the only reason nobody engaged Archaea in his classical languages forum was because nobody cares how many ways there are to conjugate "copulate" in ancient Greek.

Whereas a Foyer II would be irresistable to the hot shots.

I think it would be just the opposite. I doubt many people post anything there at all.

The first day there would be activity...lots of "Hey, I had this experience" with a bunch of "thanks for sharing that" responses. There is nothing wrong with those types of threads, but ultimately, my guess is that people here crave more meat on the bones. If anything, those that may want this new forum will spend far more time in the regular Foyer than vice versa.

By definition, those that dont see a need for a new forum will probably have little to do with it once it is up and running.

It isn't my suggestion, btw. Others have suggested it. I am simply reiterating it. I am on record as not seeing a huge need, if any. But since this seems to be a recurring theme, might as well give them the forum and be done with it.

Did PAC get enough credit for this? Here you go PAC: LOL!!

You see, I bear you no professional jealousy or grudges.

I was hoping for an ROFL smilie, but I accept this gracious acknowledgement still the same. I would have taken more time to do a better rewrite of Colonel Jessup's stirring soliloquy, but I had a 9:30 starting time and needed to dash. Most importantly, my intended audience, RF, boardmailed a tip o' the cap, the contents of which I shall never reveal.

One day, wuap comes to CUF and discloses that a female student of his is suicidal.

Lingo cleverly implies that wuap is the reason this student wants to kill herself.

What is your response?

I would be shocked. SHOCKED! WHo could EVER imagine that Lingo could be clever?



(before you get your knickers twisted, this is only a joke. As to the moderation issue, I am not going to play this reindeer game)

I think you should be banned because I don't like you.

I would say.."whatshappeninman, you seem to have that magic touch, both online and in real life. But right now you should be focused less on basketball and more on Sunday School. You have already done irreparable harm." Sorry, just being honest!
