Thought it might be fun to make a list of things that render an active, fun-loving thread... well, Dead.

I was reading the other day and I saw for the ka-zillionth time or so where some well meaning newbie jumped into a lively discussion to ask the question. You know the one... "What is a PB?"

Don't get me wrong, I am sure I did it too. Well maybe, I sure hope not.

What can someone post that will make you shut it down and walk away?

I didn't even know they banned people here.

I tried to gracefully bow out but she wouldn't stop and her pals joined in. It was just bloody awful. I was stunned. Right after that I learned that she and some of her cohorts in crime were banned. I hardly knew what hit me. Several really nice folks PM'ed me and that kept me from fleeing forever.

Bjean,

I encountered a similar situation on another board. It seems every board has it's own pack of wolves. I got several PM's from others on the board telling me not to let them bother me, and not to leave. BUT! After some reading in that board's equivalent of the rants and raves section, I realized that most of the posters were very young ... not so mature, and not very knowledgeable. It's ashamed that people can gang up like this, and it seems to happen with all age groups and all sorts of people. Sorry it happened to you, glad to hear your opinion, even if it's dissenting, as long as it's politely put.

Evilah

AND ON TO BRIGHTER THREAD KILLING SUBJECTS...

let's let the cheese age awhile

So this is probably a male version of what I will look like at goal. How is that for depressing?

Mmm, actually it's still better than where I've been.

Now I know what the Flying Nun's son looks like.... I can die happy.

*laughing* I know, right? When I first saw it, it didn't really register and I thought the poor boy was melting. Then I was inspired with the idea of flight... flying squirrel style.

Did you realize that if we wait to kill this thread for a page or so, some lucky bandster will have post #1000 on this train-wreck?

I am reading a new book - "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver. Apparently you can make your own cheese! Mozzarella in 30 minutes! Cream cheese even faster? It might be worth a shot, at least a fun activity for an afternoon.

Hmmm..... As it happens, I have enjoyed every Barbara Kingsolver novel I have read and I am deeply in love with cheese. In fact I got fat by eating cheese, lots of cheese! Weird, eh?

I guess this thread cannot be killed!

Still and all, I sometimes miss one of the posters who was banned. She started some of the best threads on the whole forum!

I miss one too...:think

I like cheese.

oooooh me too! What's your fav? I'm especially fond of a nice slightly warmed brie with water crackers. But I wouldn't turn my back on a wedge of Gouda or Edam. If you want to hear a really horrendous confession, do you? huh?..... really? promise you won't tell, okay? well, just between you and me... I make chicken enchiladas with, you'll never guess... it's really dispicable... you guess it VELVEETA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :faint:

I like people who like cheese. Cheese lovers are nice people

I have ENJOYED grossing out several friends with the kitty litter cake picture.

I say let this thread live forever.

Long live the sick and twisted.

I want to eat that whole cake. I wonder how much I would gain if I ate an

entire cake.

My favorite is stinky blue cheese. Especially nice fattening blue cheese

dressing. Unfortunately, these days it's fat free Italian with 10 measly

calories per Tablespoon.

I think it's the subtle nuances that give it such realistic flair, don't you? The little kitty turds draped artfully across the edge of the pan are the perfect touch. Everyone who has ever owned a cat can appreciate that. They always manage to miss the pan and poop on the edge of the tray at least once a day!

You cannot gain more than the weight of the item you eat. A five pound box of chocolates will produce a weight gain of no more than five pounds.

Ok, so if I eat a 10# wheel of white sharp cheddar from Wisconsin, just sliced and eaten straight from the wheel, preferably at room temperature, I should, in theory, gain only 10#??

Where do I go to purchase a wheel of cheese? How much is a flight from Houston to Wisconsin?
