Leaving

[Kirk B]

Hey, how does that tune "Tony's Pushcart" go?

[jemtheflute]

Typically clumsy of you, Mr. Hall.......

[talasiga]

Seeing as I don't have a bike ........

While we're having a civil discussion, here's a thought of mine:

No one, short of a mod, has the right to order another participant to stop posting. Agree, disagree, but don't try to simply shout someone down.

........ I was merely protesting my right to post freely here so long as I don't break the rules.

Mate, you're 100% correct. Only a moderator can order you to leave.
Therefore , if someone else tells you to leave it is NOT an ORDER, see?

No, just a pure, rude, presumptuous provocation itching for a sharp reply.


Rob

If thats how you felt about it, it shows great maturity on your part that you ended up

.........merely protesting my right to post freely here so long as I don't break the rules.

rather than scratching up a sharp reply .............

[Rob Sharer]

And so the dead horse floggings continue...


Look, Tal, you of all people here should understand what it's like to be shouted down. I've watched you getting hammered on, time and time again.

Have all of your responses been "mature"? I seem to recall the occasional spew. Besides, maturity is seriously over-rated, and I recommend it in small doses only.

There goes an enlightened man.

Can I quote this as a facebook status?

[weedie]

Here in Australia ,we have the Ulysses Motorcycle Club.... a club for Motorcyclists over the age of 50..
Their motto is "Grow Old Disgracefully" ...... I like that
Might have to sign up one of these days

[Nanohedron]

Their motto is "Grow Old Disgracefully" ......

Hey! They stole that from me. I've been saying that that's my goal for years.

How'm I doin' so far?

[weedie]

Yer doin' well Nano......keep up the good work ..

I've always liked the Hunter S. Thompson quote:

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

[weedie]

Yay,thats a good one as well Kirk B ....Seems as though a few of us Chiffers ride Motorcycles ..
Sadly ,for me anyway, it's too bloody hot to ride here in OZ at the moment .. For the last week,the temperature has been in the 38 to 44 deg. C. region and 99% humidity .... NOT FUN .....
I dunno what's going on in our country lately.... Floods and Cyclones in Queensland ( North East Oz ),a heatwave here on the Mid North East Coast,floods in Victoria (South East Oz ) and Bushfires in Perth (West Coast Oz ) ...Mother Nature's a wee bit cranky !! ..
And .....on the subject of 'sayings' ,another one I like is....
"You're only young once,but you can stay immature forever" ... ..
And...and.....I'm not 'leaving' ......I like it here !

I don't ever recall being hammered on for making endless glib unfunny condescensions to people thoughtfully taking part in a topic whilst myself being the monkey for the person who began the topic but, in fact, doing serious damage to the topic OP position by the manner of my monkeying.

As to your Q, I like to measure my responses by the yardstick of "freshness".

[talasiga]

Oh please, can't we get this thread back to snarky comments about people who hate censorship, temporary locking, etc.
........

I would like to see this thread get back on topic not because I want to snark about moderator decisions but because I like to to spin wheelies and rev about the elements in a topic that contributed to those decisions, namely, the input and behaviour of non-mod members in the topic.

IMO, anything less does not dignify Terry's sad decision to leave these forums.

One does not "spin" a wheelie. Wheelies are "pulled".

hush, that's how we know them.....
