dawg

This is more berserk than the cheese killing.

I second that Funny. If anyone tries to bring problems to the club just report the post and keep to the business at hand. Loooooosing weight. Hmm lose weight. loose skin.

Oh I totally understand that. It just isn't going to achieve anything. If you want to achieve something you'll need to address the person who can do something. We, the users, do not have rights.

I believe Alex has stated in the past that if you have an issue with the moderators to speak directly to him. I believe it takes more than one moderator ro approve a ban, and possibly it requires approval from Alex himself. I'd recommend just PM'ing Alex if you think action taken was inappropriate.

Woohoo!! my timecard only took 1.5 hours!!

Correct, I got uglier.

I've decided my work needs to give me a code to bill to for filling out my time card. I swear it takes longer to track the time I spend on a particular project than it did to do the work.

Heather.... Is it POSSIBLE to be off topic in this thread??

I have come to the conclusion that I can get the same effect as colon blow just by reading some posts on LBT. Maybe we should contact colonblow.com and see if they want to sub-contract with Alex to provide an "online colon blow" service?

I'm thinking I'm due a new "After" picture. I'll see if I can persuade the wife to take one. Even though I feel pretty darn fat this morning.

Sphincter.... Prolapse..... Dying....., Dead. Thanks.

Can I get a coroner....stat.

You said drink in the first place dody ROFL.

Can a sphincter prolapse through too much laughter. I need help.... DIES AGAIN

-------v^---------v^----------v^------------- Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Thanks to this night. I have created a new word. "Snurgle"

This is the Fat Ugly Dawg a checkin in for Sept. Just as fat as I was Wednesday.... Alright I lost a pound but I'm claiming it next week.... Hey I have an Idea. just call me Fuwg.

I do agree and I actually have adopted this myself. I was merely pointing out that sometimes even just a few words can hurt - if they are the right words. I think my major statement is though, that this kind of thing should come to a close and remain closed. I don't see the value in providing a "gloves off" fighting area. My opinion though is considered by most to be superfluous for a multiplicity of reasons. I expect this opinion to be ignored and I expect the drama to persist until Alex takes drastic action which nobody wants. I think the thread was started with the intent of exploring the "Rants and Raves" forum, what it means and how it operates. I would love some clarification of what is allowed there, and what it's intent is.

*Raises his glass* I'd like to propose a toast. To all dramafiends, thread warriors, and board barbarians. Thanks for the chuckles, long may you rant, and I will be right here making just as much sense with you.

Well of course I would normally take the "sticks and stones" thing and wholeheartedly agree with you. Remember though that this is a support forum. If you open up and discuss issues openly in what you feel is a safe environment, and then this is used to attack you, of course it can hurt. We grow pretty thick skins to the "world at large" but if you open up yourself, you shouldn't have to face that being used against you. It is actually great if you can just blow people off if they try and hurt you, but sometimes it's really hard to ignore. My view is that there is no place for vicious attacks in this community. I think though that the current "Rants and Raves" description does grant tacit approval for behavior which would normally be prevented by LBT rules. I know Betty stated that her view is that this behavior is unacceptable in any one of the threads and I think it important we comply with that, despite the open interpretation of what the "Rants and Raves" forum is for.

Doesn't snarfing usually involve bicycle seats?

Sorry, I'm short one X chromosome to even understand Martini.

Actually screw dairy. I'm thinking yeast. I'm thinking hops. I'm thinking sugar. Brewed to a full flavor and delivered in a very large glass mug. Right here. Right now. Hello, my names Paul and I have NO problem with drinking.

I'm tired of cheese, can we move onto other dairy products?

I actually agree with Susan on this one. The forum does state that it's for fighting. It doesn't state at what point it should 'stop'. I personally don't like the concept of the "rants and raves" forum (despite spending time there on some threads). We used to just use the lounge for the off-topic conversations and if they got 'heated' they would be locked. I'd rather revert back to locking the heated stuff and eliminating rants and raves. I of course am willing to deal with whatever the moderators decide. I think though that the drama running unchecked isn't healthy for LBT.
