I guess I just can't understand why there are SO many rules in SHMB, but who am I. I still dont know why so many people take themselves so serious, but according to Raphy, I am just a guttersnipe anyways.
Hellraisers
Lynch Mob

whatever...

The band kids will always hate the popular kids and organizations fear cliques that may question their decisions or authority.


Did I mention that Wayward has Obama's real birth certificate?

Here is the deal, unban deerhunter and we'll call the whole thing square. It has the added appeal of being the right thing to do... Originally Posted by Wayward

As long as we're respectful, are we allowed to call Father Wayward a "murdering rat bastard"? Originally Posted by chicagoboy

Okay as one grown man to another what would your upper limit on look at me threADs in coed be? Should this apply to only local providers or touring hot chicks too? Originally Posted by Wayward

And as charming as some of the guys are, I'm in this thing of ours for the sexy women, not the guys.

Until a provider gets to the ClassySex level of "look at me" posts, it's a non-issue for me.

This thread is not about threADs or the Lynch Mob or the Hellraisers or Horndogs (did I leave anyone out?). It was more directed at some recent events and how they correlated to a directive stated by St. Chris. And to the mods credit, they did address nearly all of the issues save the edited post but that was more than I expected.

Wayward and Blowpop, you guys know how to create new threads, don't you?

Owners/Mods/Designers....

I view this particular point as an optimum location to loop this thread into FiH's thread about just getting along. This discussion has taken a turn into what I think is one of the main reasons we can't seem to be able to "just get along."

I think it would make life easier for those who wanted to participate in multiple threads that have - for whatever reason - evolved along a similar line.... It would be nice if there was a way to do that. Maybe a "switch" could get flipped someplace that would enable/simplify cross-quoting between two threads....something.....

The whole threAD thing seems silly to me. I've yet to see a provider come anywhere near the volume of pleas for attention that some of the guys post - yet the guys don't get repeatedly called out over it. If a guy's post count is in the thousands, when he bitches about this he's being a hypocrite. Originally Posted by blowpop
BP, I agree with you for the most part. I think it's a little goofy to get too upset by threADs. Some mild annoyance is normal. You roll your eyes & move on.

I completely agree with that! The donks I identify with here...hell, I can talk to them anywhere! Finding sexy womenz that will put up with my nonsense...that's a lot tougher!

But, strangely enough, that's one of the reasons I can't agree with the previous statement 100%. There's, at least, a couple of schools of thought. One is "calling out" the gals who make an "excessive amount" (whatever the hell that # is!) of threAD posts drives sexy womenz away. The other is allowing "excessive amount" (see disclaimer, supra) drives other sexy womenz away. And then, there's the notion that not all the sexy womenz are permitted to post threADs to the same degree drives still more sexy womenz away. Okay...maybe that's, at least, three schools...or 2a & 2b...whatever...I hope you see where I was going with this before I got distracted by the epistemology of it all...

Anyway, point being, the best way to maximize the number of sexy womenz who participate here is a subject a LOT of the fellaz are gonna be passionate about. Throw in the odd suspicion...if not outright accusation...of bad faith on the part of those who are, theoretically, supposed to keep the playing field level... Powder keg....

I haven't even gotten to the notion of disagreements on what's sexy (or who IS a woman) & I'm already reaching for the aspirin bottle....

Until a provider gets to the ClassySex level of "look at me" posts, it's a non-issue for me. Originally Posted by blowpop
There you go....already a bone of contention. ClassySex never really bothered me with her "look at me" posts. She was good for as many belly laughs (albeit, perhaps not for the reason she intended) as eye rolls here. If I was in the mood for a puzzle, I might actually invest 10 minutes in trying to figure out one of her threAD posts. But, that's just me. I'm sure I'm the outlier in that regard.

I have no idea how many guys are active here...call it "n".... I would hazard a guess that maybe 2 of them would agree on exactly how much "look at me" is too much...

So, that gives us n-1 opinions on a "hot button" topic. Therefore, we get what we get every time the subject comes up.

Fair enough, now in your life long pursuit of girl goodness, have you ever noticed that some of women we love are a little ate up with unfairness? Finally Father Wayward is going to have a list of his own.... Top Ten Annoying Provider Posters... that might really work for us.

Carkiddo is not the normal wagon someone as bright as you would hitch their wagon to, but that's your call my friend. I know deerhunter rattled your cage, but the truth is and you know this if we are being truly honest and straight forward, he helps the board and the community more than most.

Normally at this point we would ask you to quantify the amount of harm you have endured but that again would be silly...

We thinck this discussion is on topic, it is all about moderation...
