Actually, what I meant was, he could have read the posts and made a decision not to make a totally unnecessary comment. My point exactly. | | |
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: 'WOW What a Ride!!! |

My point exactly. Making unnecessary comments and pointing out that something might be against the stated forum policies and bringing it to the attention of the moderators are two quite different things. But I would not expect you to be able to make that differentiation. | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

But I would not expect you to be able to make that differentiation. Do the moderators need your help to decide what is allowed or not? No they don't. Do the moderators need your help to decide whether a topic needs to be closed? No they don't. Does that make your posts unnecessary? Yes it does. It's not me having the problem with differentiation here. | | |

| | Posted: | | | | I was jesting regarding the ignore button. No penance required! However hair shirt brought to mind 'Tom Jones' bringing up that image, should be a double red arrow . The point here is; just silly laugh or don't laugh, way too much emotion is being spent here. Rico | | | If I felt any better I'd be sick!

Blocks in place. Name-calling and a block, a very mature response indeed. | | |

Perhaps I'm one of the few but I find nothing funny about anything that has to do with that day.  IMO anyone who can look at those pictures and somehow laugh is warped, no matter how "satirical" the article is.
A HUGE  I'm able to laugh about it. Not that I don't care about what happend, however being able to laugh about something usually show that you deal with something instead of mysticising something or creating a taboo. |

How about havng to watch all of the Austin Powers movies 5 times in a row! 
I'm sure there's something in the Geneva Convention about torture methods like this.  | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
