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?

That squirrel better hope that nobody goes after his nuts!

Now the squirrels in Florida are a little different......

Any of youse seen a Fox Squirrel??? Seriously. They're awesome. Huge fox like tails. In Florida, no less.

I'm pretty sure Fox Squirrels eat cheese.

:pound:

Can't say I've seen the fox squirrel, but have seen a flying squirrel. It wasn't eating cheese at the time. I wouldn't put it past a squirrel to eat cheese.

ded thread???

I sure hope not. I loved reading this thread. There have been a lot of posts lately too, that remind me of this thread.

" I can eat a whole pizza, why am I not losing weight" type posts:cry:heh:

Look at the camera and say, "CHEESE!"

I'm missing this thread already.

In general I think it is fair to say that the whole Rants and Raves section has become a pitiful shadow of its former glory. All I can say is, I tried. It's hard to feel motivated to raise interesting issues when the Thought Police are so determined to stamp out anything they deem to be in "bad taste."

Oh, Marjon, never say never! I will happily jump in as soon as you post something contentious. :ranger: I have been quite bored lately, you know. :help: And I adore bad taste as long as it isn't expressed through poor choices in dress. :heh:

Fear not, green, my dresses are always well chosen.

What tha? Have they been censoring???

Well, we three need to come up with something really ghastly and contentious!

I sure miss TOM. He always seemed to manage getting people's pants in a wad. :ranger:

I also miss TOM. And I never thought I'd say this, but I'm even starting to miss Ron Cusano.

be careful what you ask for...you want a rant I'll give you a rant!

That sounds good. The one thing I ask is that you write something that is highly offensive to a meaningful segment of the list membership.

Okay, you need to fill me in. Who are these people Tom and Ron?

I usually just go to new posts and have never really

gone straight to rants and raves. Are they deleting posts

in there? What's going on?
