While I'm sure no malice is intended, I would like to respectfully request that the self-appointed thread killers call a hault to all the cheese banter. I know the intention is to "break the tension" in threads where tempers are flaring but the intention is not accomplishing its purpose. In fact, it's causing more problems than it's solving.

Since I have been on this forum, I have received a total of 6 private messages. Today, I received 15! The tone of all the PMs were related to the "thread killing group and the reason they were sent in a PM is because people are afraid to go up against this group in "public" for fear of starting another war.

If I am totally off base and the majority of posters enjoy the cheese thread killing, please disregard this message. I hope I have not offended anyone as that was not my intention. I just think it's best to bring things out into the open so problems can be shared, discussed, and solved before they become wars or before people decide to leave.

Thank you for listening and (hopefully) understanding.

Ouch Telly.

To say the cheesy posts and thread killing is upsetting is to say that you prefer that the drama continue and the wars blaze on.

Not true, but some of us here have things to say, does not mean we like drama. It means we have something to say. I have been here for 2.5 years and have made many friends here personally and otherwise. If you thread killers do not like what a certain post is about then do not click on it, do not read it, do not reply to it, it is not your job to kill a thread, it is the job of the moderators to kill a thread by locking it.

In my opinion, thread killing needs to stop. Let the mods kill the threads not us members.

See that's one thing you'll always get from me. I don't care if you like me or if I speak eloquently or ghetto. I am me and I'm real. As real as it gets and if I think someone's crying about something that's soo ridiculously silly then I'm gonna tell you. That's it.

As much as I like the majority of the people who play in the "Thread Killer" thread . . . you all know me, you know I like you, but . . .

I have to agree. Trying to kill a thread or even defuse a thread isn't your job, or mine. If the tension of the thread in question is too much, the best way to defuse it or kill it is to walk away from it without posting.

There will always be threads that are uncomfortable or unpleasant. If you really want to make them go away, you have to be able to walk away.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do, I AM saying it's confusing and annoying to new people and to people who DO want to read or participate in those particular threads.

Still friends?

I post on the thread killer thread, I dont think its any differ than posting in any thread. In the thread killers thread we LAUGH and have fun. I dont post cheese stuff in other threads and If theres a thread I dont like I dont go read it...it's Very simple.

I think there nothing wrong with a lighthearted goofy thread to post cheesy stuff in...Just like I dont complain or think theres something wrong about the pray for lapbanders (or what it's called) thread I just simply DO NO READ IT...

Nana~

Ok folks...listen up.

If you don't like the content of a thread, just move the hell on. That's all you gotta do. If you are getting 15 pms about cheese.. well golly gee. Who cares? Move on. No need to pull up a pillow, hug it and cry. Get a backbone already. Roll your eyes and make sound effects like "hmph".

Maybe you should take your own advice. Apparently you don't agree with the point of this thread...so why did you post at all? Why didn't you just "move on"?

Actually mine was sincere sensitive cheesy bull crap.

Hehe, Dawg I know you are sincere with your cheese.:clap2:

Kat, I am responding to this thread. I never said I needed to move on, I simply said if anyone needs to move on then do so. I am fine right where I am. Thanks.

no, telly, what you said...and I quote "If you don't like the content of a thread, just move the hell on."

Apparently you don't like the content since you are implying that we are being sensitive....so..again I ask...why didn't you just move on?

donnab we will always be friends.

I guess i am a dumbass for trying to get people to calm down and be nice to each other. I came back to this place after being a gone a month because i missed the support and the friends i have. I am not trying to piss people off by being a thread killer. I am trying to get people to calm down so that matters can be handled by the appropriate people. we have already seen one member banned. why have a thread that is an all out war and risk seeing others banned too? Is mud slinging really better than cheese slinging? I think not.

Peace out, or how ever it goes.

Well..ok

"If you don't like the content of a thread, just move the hell on."

Same to me as... "if anyone needs to move on then do so."

You may agree or disagree or agree to disagree. Who cares.

I am saying.. I did not agree or disagree with this thread. I made a statement. I was fine in the Thread Killers and I'm fine with this thread. I'm not here to kill it, I am here to respond. If you have nothing to say in the cheese thread but it hurts your little heart...then move on. I've got plenty to say. I'm sure you can tell.

Much love to Dawg and P-nut is all I have to say.

Since I've recently started posting again, I've tried to read everyone's posts with the understanding that you all have the best intentions and mean no malice. I hope you will take my comments likewise.

Funny, you say that you are trying to calm people down with the cheesiness. Speaking as someone who gets highly emotional at times, the worst thing to say to someone who has gotten momentarily offtrack is "Calm down."

The rest of you cheese-mongerers also say that you are trying to kill threads with your talk of such gastronomic delights. But the only way to really kill a thread is to stop posting on it. When you post, regardless of your post's dairy content, some member who just logged on will read the thread from the start and become involved in the less comical side of the debate.

I've never been a silly person; I'm more into dark humor...so I might not be as understanding toward off-topic cheesiness. I just wanted to offer the perspective of someone who's been quietly watching for the last few months.

Oh, another thing. I shouldn't have bumped this thread if my real intentions were so pure. But my opinion was SO IMPORTANT that it had to be added to the mix. Human nature is a funny thing.

ROFLMAO @ StrawartS. You are funny.
