hormone raging co-ed teenagers staying together for a week. Hmmmm, well, need I say too much more? See, this is exactly what I was worried about. Pack my bags -- I'm chaperoning!

I know... I'm a bad boy. Carebear's not gone 3 seconds and I've broken down the door and started making trouble. Hehehehehehehehehehe. <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" border

WooHoo! Break out the kegs, dude!!!! Party at Carebear's pad!!! If you come back saying, "This one time, at FFA camp..." I will be very worried.

This sounds like something I'd rather spend some time thinking about and then write up on my own blog. I probably will. But off the top of my head.... Movies: * Well, as I said on one of PoetMom's question threads the first time I remember crying about a movie was when the dancer's teacher died in Flashdance. * Lancelot coming in at the last second to rescue Guinever

Reply to How many frogs to find your Prince? in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I don't know about frogs, but I'm convinced my number is on a bathroom wall at the mental institution. I've completely given up on the Princess search and acquired a cat. I'll probably be one of those little old guys standing on the front lawn wearing a bathrobe and yelling at kids.

By the way.... Someone could even more accurately say, "Xerox designed the Macintosh GUI years before Apple. All Apple has done is pick up and moderately improve upon a few opensource projects like FreeBSD." That was taken out of context. I used the previous poster's technique to discredit

Well, Vegas news showed video of the comment last night. I don't know if it is better or worse actually seeing it. He immediately laughs after saying it -- but then so do racists and bullies (they always seem to think they're so clever, don't they?). Whether he intended it as a joke or not, I can't imagine anyone, let alone an "Education Leader," finding that an acceptable thing to say to child. It sounded like a lot of the kids gasped and ye

DanMS: Since you feel compelled to comment on Little Whip's Africa article, the best thing to do would be to open an account and write a counterpoint article. (Assuming you aren't one of the trolling regulars BakerStreet spoke of.) Discussions of Africa are still off-topic in this thread. If you want to cite that article as being a toxic post and discuss what you think needs to be done to toxic posts, that would probably be a differen

JU Widget into the WinCustomize/Stardock catalog That sounds interesting. What does it do, put the latest articles onto the desktop or something like that? (As for the rest of the message, I can only imagine "start policing" meant "please delete my posts." <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif"

"It means stupid dirty girl." And to think he was my pick for Governor. He should receive some sort of serious consequence for such a hurtful and stupid remark.

When I first came here I didn't post to the forums at all. I still wouldn't except it seems most people only read from the forums. (Personally, I try to avoid them. They are terribly slow on my machine. Whoever made it so we can now edit comments without dropping into the forums -- give them a big kiss for me. Thanks.)

Reply to "toxic" or just a "phase" in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Can you honestly say you would be "OK" with me deleting posts that you made or hiding your articles when I found them getting out of hand? Or, would you bitch? Or, do you simply feel that *you* are not part of the problem, so it wouldn't happen to you? Yes, I'd be okay with it. I'd like to see a litt

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, I suppose I will close this thread. It seems to no longer be serving any useful purpose. I'd like to stop it before it works its way into my top 5 articles. Dharma: I'll write you. If I don't get to it tonight, I'll do so tomorrow. BakerStreet: Thank you. This is exactly the sort of online tumult I never wanted to be a part of again. I'm not

P.S. -- Also, please see my more restained response on the "canary" thread. All I wanted was a place where I could pose and ask these questions since I wasn't going to be posting on most of Mig's anymore. I though it would be a nice complementary regular feature. People could have an opportunity to answer these type of questions from two different perspectives, and have them nicely spaced out. Yes, I have been looking f

now, i can apologise til i'm blue in the face again here, but to be honest i think everybody is tired of seeing that. so, let me tell you something else. i can't just be "tolerated". it's not me. i have no desire to insist on being welcome where i'm not wanted. i'd like nothing more than to continue exchanging comments with you,

I watched Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Last Action Hero" a couple of nights ago. In it a young boy is given a magic ticket that allows him to enter an Arnold flick. Q#1 -- If you could enter any film (or films) which would it be and why? &n

When you say "close the thread" is there a way to lock it without losing all the comment? Last time I used 'edit' to do it, it hid all the comments previous. I've clicked "edit" and changed the "who can respond" to "no-one" without losing the comments. Is that what you did? Little Whip and her husband h

Another problem is obviously the time of year. I don't think that there will be this kind of angst next summer. There are people here that really, truly believe that they can influence politics by bludgeoning the opposition with their ideas, and then just calling anyone who opposes them a liar. Yes. The

I hate it when friends fall out. (Or at least people who were once friend ly. ) This is getting terribly off track. While I'm usually of a mind to allow thread drift I wonder if I shouldn't close the thread? Oh well, let's give it a while longer and see where it goes.
